The Power of Love

Judy Sheldon on Jul 25, 2008

No words will ever be adequate, nor thoughts complete enough, to express what love is.

We like the words “I love you.”
They are magic to our ears
So why when the arguing is through
Do they bring an onslaught of tears?

The conflicts storm and rage
Bringing uncertainty and pain
And then we turn the page
With “I love you.” It’s insane.

Those three words hold power
To ease our heart and pain
When life becomes sour
The thoughts of love remain

But words, just words
Does not the magic hold
It’s the thoughts and feelings
That the words unfold

If we don’t back them up
“I love you” is just a sound
Not to be prized and cherished
When they’re tossed around.

The magic of true love
Holds the power of the ages
And the mystery of it all
Bewilders even sages.

Chan, Nobert, and Strawberry, thank you so much for your kind words.

Strawberry, don’t be bitter. They come from my heart, and I have been writing for what seems like a life time. lol I am going to do a search and see if you have any, because I am sure yours are just as good. I apologize for not reading more, as family and work keeps me pretty occupied.

Take care & thanks again.
