What is Your Love?

Posted on June 18, 2013 by Charles Yallowitz

Taking on the Community Storyboard’s love theme of the week.  This is the poem that I posted there.

We forget that love
Can take so many forms
Parent to child and back around
Friends standing together
Until the very end
The happy pet at the door

We can love a food
Or a television show
It might not be too much
Because they bring us joy
The essence of love
That is so pure and fleeting

I can hear some
Saying love cannot be so broad
Saved only for the spouse
Cheapened if used for others
Like does not always work
When the heart is touched so deep

'Legends of Windemere' is his first series, but it certainly won't be his last.

    I clicked the Like button in lieu of the Love button since we don’t have a Love button (yet).
