This is to enter Contest #7. I decided to Use Sculpture form of Poetry for my entry.

        Love. Love is pure and strong.                                  Love exists in many forms.

From the moment you lay eyes on each other,             to the time, a mother gives birth to a child.  Love is patient and Love is kind.              Love is forgiving and Love is trusting.

 A Mother Loves her child, a child Loves its         Mother, and a woman loves a man, and so forth;  Love can be expressed in many             ways and forms. From a poem, to a greeting card.  By giving a gift to someone that      you truly appreciate.  And being helpful towards others. Love does not judge, nor should it make you change how you are.  Love must be consistent in every form.  Yet, to me at least, Love in its purest form, is, that of a Mother and newborn child.  You just cannot deny, that this is indeed the purest of Loves that still exists in this world.  Sure some Mothers, have done quite the opposite. And others tend to have trials.  Yet, in the end, most Mothers, will Love their babies, no matter what.  Even those, whose baby, might be in jail or go astray.  A Mothers Love is never gone, no matter what.  Other type of forms that exist, are that of Sibling and friends, plus young couples.  Yet, Love has been tainted, since beginning of time, and no longer is appreciated as it should be. Sex is just sex, and Love is put aside.  This should not be, for sex is not a game.  Some are lucky, and find Love at a young age, while others might struggle to find the one, for them.  In the end, Love is meant to be pure and from the heart, innocent and filling as well.  To Love someone, with all your might, by not leaving their side, even in the midst of trouble.  Marriage is sacred to most generations.  And Love is told to be there, no matter, what you may face as a couple.  Be it sickness or health, riches or no riches. Love should not be attached to any of these things.  So if you     Love, do so from your heart, and know this, Love is beautiful and strong.  If you are

searching for Love, do not look on the outside, look on the inside,

of their own hearts. Search for the soul and make sure that what 

you see, is more than a shell.  Never judge a book by its cover.

Love is not conditioned nor should it be given as a reward.

Love is not earned in any way or form. Love is simply Love.

To Love at will, to Love on all. And at this time, it does 

seem that we all need to Love and be Loved. Hatred

is the opposite of Love; and we should not let 

it be given free reign. Yes, I know, that 

hatred comes from much deeper issues,

from rejection, to abuse, and so much

more. But we can choose to hate and 

or to Love.  But why hate, if that 

only brings destruction. I believe

it is better to Love, and forgive 

and let go, of all things that 

come from the past, in order 

to move onward and not 

move backward. No 

matter color, race,

or religion. Just 

choose to 

Love.
