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

Ahh, but what is our mind, my friend?
Science can tell us all sorts of things about our brain...but nothing about a mind. We can test IQ...whatever that really means...but we cannot tell why one person can compose beautiful music like this you have chosen to accompany your wonderful poem...and why another person cannot.
And what is love, really?
Science says it is an electo-chemical reaction in the brain...that might be how it works, but is that what it IS????

It is questions like these that have convinced me that there must be a God...
And now I will jump down from my soapbox before you get annoyed with me...


Thank you so much for your sweet note, and for sharing this majestic poem with me. I am truly grateful, Tate.

Our mind is the strongest gift that we have got . It keeps on promoting to create most beautiful thoughts and most peaceful vision to make life the way it has to be. Emotions and tenderness-the traits of love complement to what we are and what we tend to be in life. Life seems dwarf but the endless lil moments prove it wrong.
Very nice write Tate,inspiring..Thank you

Beautiful!! I loved reading this, you did a wonderful job on it. By the way, at one point you say "it's" instead of "its", but that's just me being picky with grammar. Great work!
