We need more love words.

Tanya's powerful and beautiful song and some words.

We need more love words...

The old house is quiet now. Once the three bedrooms house was filled with children and laughter. Once I had solid people near, strong people to sit with and talk to.

Now the old man asked Lake St. Clair. Did I tell the kind people I knew. I loved them and they were my anchor. Did I make enough time for them? When we are young. We believe we will live forever and the people we depended on, who befriended us and loved us, they would live forever.

Now I sit on the stones near the Lake St. Clair and I whisper a prayer.

"Hello Grandmother, I miss your sweet voice and I love you so.

Hello dear grandfather, thank you for teaching me to be a good man.

Dear father, did I tell you. You were the greatest man I ever knew?

I am the old man by the lake now and I know. I must slow down my world.

I watched the lake dance and I hope.

I told you my dearest friends, thank you for walking with me.

I told the noon sun,

we need more love words.

We must tell the people we cherish.

We loved and we appreciated them.

Life is a whirlwind and we must make time for our children, our grandchildren.

Tell them, they are your reasons to be alive."

The old man walked to the lake, put his bare feet into the water. He told the blue sky. Please take away my anger away and please teach me. Love is the gold in a life. Speak gentle and easy, be the place where your family and friends can know they are safe and loved. A open door always open for them.

Thank you dear friend. Love is the magic to keep us happy and okay.

Yes, at our age so many of those we loved and learned from are gone. Did we appreciate them enough when they were alive? Did we take them for granted? I think we all need to tell those we love how we feel as often as possible. Regrets cause anger and we can not go back again. Water under the bridge will never flow towards us again. Wise words here, John. Lydi**

Thank you dear Lydia. I was a angry man once. Now I try to stay calm. I learn too late. Anger create distance.

Appreciation in the moment is so often missed but when we get there, the divine is found.

Fantastic penning:)

Everything about this poem is so sincere feeling, so deep and I love 'love is the gold in life' because it's so true, but I never thought about it that way. But I'm so glad that you did because it's such a beautiful comparison.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you my friend. With my old age. I learn to appreciate the proper things we can control.

Love is indeed a valuable priceless gift to receive and to give. Kind words are a key to generate those love. Being more loving not only makes a happy surrounding but also make one happy with oneself also! Your poems are a gateaway to those lovingness... I always appreciate

I love this John
Time waits for no man
We all have a turn at the cycle of life

[Coyote Poetry]

You are right dear Julie. We must use our time wisely. Thank you for reading and the comment.

[Viktoria]

I really do relate to this write, Coyote, especially your lines regarding people we know and love being able to live forever. It is not until we cross paths with death that we come to that realisation. So, yes, we DO need more love words.....extended to those we cherish and less anger and hate. For some day it may be too late and the opportunity has passed us by. Your words are always infused with wisdom and in touch with your heart and nature, too. Thank you for your lesson here. 🌹

[Coyote Poetry]

Hello dear Viktoria. We must make time for our family. If we don't. We will wish one day, we did. Thank you for reading and the comment.
