Love
What is love, what does it mean.......
It grows from the centre of our inner being
Fills our hearts, allows us to feel
Enriches our lives, makes us real
What is life when no love exists
How empty can one feel
Like a hollow tree, dying, gone dry
No life left, nothing to live for, why try
Without love, life isn't complete
Share this gift with all you meet
It opens our hearts, lets the sun shine in
Love fills our day, brings us joy within
Spread love and feel it return to you
Whatever you give will come back too
Nothing more powerful to give and take
The most wonderful gift that you can make
Love can be shown in many a way
Just a gesture you make or whatever you say
To make someone smile, that's all it amounts
It comes from your heart and that's what counts
Love..... It's a drug we daily need
Without it, we'd wither, an unwatered seed
With it, we blossom, a beautiful flower in spring
Then, nourished and fed, like a bird we can sing
Love means understanding, sharing, giving
When necessary, it means forgiving
If someone needs to talk, it's lending an ear
When a friend needs to cry, it's drying a tear
So, no matter, just how busy you are
Find time for loved ones near or far
Speak those three words, they long to hear
Just say 'I love you' to those you hold dear

ReplyDeleteDear Margaret,
ReplyDeleteSuch remarkable lines these are, what can be said about them? Than to just quote and enjoy reading them once again.
"Without it, we'd wither, an unwatered seed
With it, we blossom, a beautiful flower in spring"
Trust me, unless born with a pinch of poetic talent, it is never easy to imagine and write such lines.
"If someone needs to talk, it's lending an ear
When a friend needs to cry, it's drying a tear"
These poems need to be enjoyed by all ages. Try to reach even the wider section of society, i.e. the non-computer literates also.
Dear Charan
