Love is best given, from the heart, Now and Forevermore. |
To live this life throughout our days 'tis best to love a lot. The time to live in all our ways makes loves be not forgot. We love each human, ev'ry pet throughout their lives on Earth. To live each day without regret, we love for all we're worth. To pat an arthritic doggy back shows love of measure full. To not do this would show some lack, and leave some thoughts to mull. To read a story to a child, and pray, that God would grace this loving soul, who's blest and smiled for years this hopeful place. To do the dishes oftentimes, to vacuum up the floor is a loving gift beyond all dimes, that can't buy love some more. The day has come to put the love of Bruhni in a box. So sad the heart for this sweet "dove," no more those precious talks. But still the days of joyful faces on my daughter, wife. Beaming gratitude mine graces for the days of life. Love requires the full gift of strength for the objects of our love. The happy dance, that lasts the length is broken when they move. The dog, who found her warm embrace between the master's legs has left great tears of salty taste to drink the bitterest dregs. The tiny one, who could not reach a top-shelf washer dish is a fully-grown adult to teach some newer child to wish. The youthful bride I met ago some forty years now hence still beams the heart-filled light I know, the days of warmest sense. The days are passing way too swift. My love must last beyond the time of money usage thrift by Love's effusive bond. 'Tis wise to love, that when it's o'er my days will be known by my selfless deeds and loving store. It stays when grief must fly. The loving days of family life are blest forevermore. The dearest daughter, and my wife are always "the top drawer." The days with Bruhni, fully done, the grief still fully raw, the love she lived was fully shown. On hope, I need to draw. It's wise to love with all our hearts. Yes, losses are quite hard. The love, that never knows its starts will never make the bard. -------------------------------------- Prompt: "APRIL Fools or Wise WHAT DO YOU PLAN TO DO? HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT IT?
