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.

Sincere and truthful words that is much needed in our lives and our world. I did not have much love growing up from parents or siblings. It hurts and it is always a source of sadness or incompleteness. I learned those values and how much we need them. An excellent poem sir.

Wisdom comes with age. It's a pity we have to wait so long to get wise. You don't know what you've got till it's gone sang Joni Mitchell. How true those words are. Each day I tell my grandchildren how loved they are. I want to teach them that love is everything in life. Without love we are nothing. They tell me they love me too and they say it with conviction and I know it to be true because I feel it in my heart. All of us need to be kinder. Love is truly gold Coyote. Your fine words are
a shining beacon.

Heavy stuff here. What is continually accessible is easily taken for granted. It's only when it's gone that we appreciate its value. This is true of many things, but especially of those who mean the most to us. The sooner we awaken to this truth, the better, for time has no remorse.

I agree my friend. I make time for my grandchildren and my children now. Time move too damn fast. Thank you for reading and the comment.
