“One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life.
The word is love.”
Sophocles, Greek Poet
So, what is life without the gift of love;
an empty shell to face it all alone.
Without it, we will lose the support of
our drama now- and what is still unknown.
To earn that gift, love is a two-way street;
its take and give is our security.
In times of pain, love's kind embrace we greet
and relish in the warmth of sympathy.
It matters not what misery we face;
love is the potion that can ease the pain.
Though there are problems love cannot erase;
it calms and heals- some peace, at least regain.
Love's two-way street of take and give must share-
when family or friends need special care.
