What's Love Got To With It?
Everything
Love is such a strong emotion
It keeps me coming back for more
It carries me through the day
Every day
It brings a smile on my face where there was none
Not once and awhile
Every time
It makes me feel like a kid again
All giddy and excited
It reveals a side of me that I never thought existed
One that brings out my greatest talents
It also exposes my biggest flaws
I am o.k. with that
My highs are always better than my lows
I wake up with enthusiasm and joy
I tap into this love every day
Finding new ways that I haven't seen before
People spend their whole life complaining about the bad in the world
Which I am reminded about every day
On the news and everywhere I look
Then again
Who brings out the love that we feel ?
That gives us hope and more love
One that picks us up at our lowest point
One that holds us together when everything else is falling apart
It is love
Love comes in so many forms
Love for ourselves
All that we are and all that we are not
Love for another person
That feels so right
Love for animals
A respect and kindness for all living things
Love of doing something you enjoy
Love of a good movie
One that hits all the buttons
I have a love for reading words
That are in so many books
Endless stories and fascinations
Poems that tease all our senses
That makes you think and dream and wonder
When I read someone else's writing
That does that for me
I feel deep emotion and a goodness
A passion that is so hard to describe
I know the writer took so much time and effort
To tell their views or their story
They thought outside the box
Dreaming of what could be
Then taking their most incredible thoughts
Putting them on paper
Rearranged them in such a way
That made sense
Then kept at it until they were pleased
They were happy
They could have stopped at any time
There was no one to tell them to do it in the first place
They had no guide
No rules
No idea this is where they would be today
Spending their time and effort
Their most precious thoughts and ideas
To reveal them to the world
So other people can share
So they can also dig deep in their own heart
Revealing what makes them the happiest
What else could it be
But sweet love
A love of life
A love of enjoying so many freedoms
A love of people
That make us smile
Laughing and enjoying every moment we have left
It is a fact
Every day we have less time than we had before
Why not use it bringing out our true loves
Love of God or our creator
Depending on peoples views
Many people think that love always comes first
Why does it have to be in any order
I don't believe it has to be one or the other
Can't it be universal love?
One that motivates us to do good
To help other people when they least expect it
To make their day better
In return it can only make our day better
No matter what time I have left
I want to spend it on love
Watching nature
The snow falling is something I have seen many times
I never get tired or bored
It is always different
Listening to the rain
It comes out of no where
Getting everything wet for miles
I know how hard it is to water my garden
Reaching every plant
Pulling the hose out
Getting the spray just right
Those plants way in the back
There are so many loves in this world
Why limit ourselves to one, two or three
Let our list grow
We can go back to our greatest joys many times
Some people love to cook
That gives them ultimate satisfaction
Seeing something they created
That tastes so good
It fills their stomach
Other people love different hobbies
There are endless things to do
There are an endless ways to do it
Some people love sports
They can watch them all day
Then tomorrow they can't wait to see them again
Other people it may be just a fun activity
Knitting or drawing
I will let you decide
Who do you love?
What do you love?
I don't know if anyone else ever told you
Do what you love
Love will make you the happiest
It is never work when you do something that makes you feel great
There is no price tag or amount of money in the world
That can compare
A secret joy that connects us all together
When you love something
You are not taking away something from someone else
You are adding joy to the world
One that could use a little brightening up
So I don't know about you
I know my next move and the one after that
I know what I have always wanted in the past
I know what I want in the future
Now don't me wrong
There are so many ways to achieve the same feeling
So that is my challenge to you
Find someone you love
Find the most wonderful moments that make you the happiest
Mix them both together
Repeat over and over
Did I say repeat over and over
It is worth mentioning again
Repeat until you are the happiest you have ever been
Then you have found what so many people are searching for
True love
