Love

May the Lord Bless you and Keep you all the days of your life.

Becky

If size were what life were about

then we would not matter a bit

Not to the thoughts that man can dream

nor all the sins he could commit

Our mind is what gives us value

sensitive beyond it's design

Compassion and love will endure

in both your children and in mine

This little blue planet of life

the only home that we know of

Holds us in it's loving embrace

as here was born every love

No matter what life can collect

nor how long life grants you in time

Why would it matter to the earth

or to the heights of mountains you climb

Humanity won't remember 

the man who commanded his friends

Only he who gives hope and love

so that life on earth never ends

Author's Note

Can a thought or feeling be larger than a universe? Love is the only trait that is worth remembering because it is meant to be given away selflessly. The recipient is as happy to receive it as you were to give it!

Hi Tate,

If all your neutrons were connected together and engaged at the same time they would be able to create a thought sequence far greater than the size of any universe known to humankind. Your deep thinking mind has stirred the pot and may well bring many others into action and this in itself may start a chain reaction.

Your poetry is a catalyst for other poets and I am always interested in what you have to say

Very apt insight into life…
It is very realistic….
On reading this…I feel that..
You have passed far beyond the existential crisis..
That each person confronts…..
At least once in his life span….
Excellent work…

Wonderful. I'm glad that other people know what small part of the world we are. We're just a small bit onto a pixle in the great universe, and some people only see what they can past their noses. I'd also can't imagine taking down that tree Dx

Real thought provoking poem Tate!

I always used to think about the insignificance of us, we human beings, as I used to try to animate in my mind and look myself and my town from the top of the world.

I dearly, dearly love and treasure this piece. The heart and sould of all men is within the love they give, they paying it forward they do, and the life they create. This is truely the remarkable matters of existence. I adore the tenderness, the strength and the magnanimous prodigeousness of it all. Bravo! And beautiful. ^_^
