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

I think...a thought or feeling is larger, smaller, within-and, is-the Universe. I think you Know. I would like to Know, too. You are definitely right with this piece. This is...magnificent. It's as if history's sages are speaking through you, poetically, rendering the truth right before my very eyes. Tate Morgan, outstanding, OUTSTANDING, work!

I think I'll be sharing this on facebook.

The universe is full of feelings and thoughts, dear friend .. what matters are the actions and what they mean that matters ..

Thank you.

A heart felt poem and what a gorgeous tree. I'd like to think that thoughts can travel beyond our earthly gravity but on WC no doubt it does~all good vibes.

Have a blessed holiday.

That was absolutely beautiful. The pictures of the planets that you used really puts things into perspective, and the Christmas tree is surreal =)

Brilliant.
I love all your work.
Being quite a small person, I'm always conscious of how little I mean - how little people mean - FULL STOP. It's hard to remember that you're not the most important thing in the world.
You don't get if you give; you're simply expected to keep keep keep on giving. But at least you know you're making other people happy. And as much as they abuse and exploit your willingness, they'll always remember you.
In a funny way, as meaningless, as self-destructive, as small as we all are, a thought or a feeling can be massive. It can mean so much.

ohh my friend ,i always say that ..
you are always remembered not for what you gathered and how much wealth..
you will be remembered for how much love and care you did spread all around you
even those you little know of ,they will be stunned by your gravity of actions
they will never know how much you could be so human and loving
to the youngest and old you will show love and smiles even if your heart
was full of worries they will see only the happiness ..happiness i will always
love to see on all faces near and far..let everyone live a joyful life
in the long days to come ,its what they will always remember you for..
lovely write..
