Love is!

Love is not the flush of lust
It is not the rush of fantasy
That’s touted in the romance books
Nor is it the so-called ‘at first sight’

Instead it is the daily presence
Reliable as the monthly phone bill
There on Sunday’s pleasant leisure
And on a Monday’s frantic pace

It is felt in dinner choices
And in helping out with chores
It is there when a hug is given
For no reason whatsoever

Ooh yeah its there when support is needed
And there in times of joy
But it’s mostly it’s the quiet persistence
in the mundane days and hours.

Thanks Sandi for giving us a explanation of what 'LOVE' is. Love endures all things. It is pain, it is scrafice, it is giving with no thought of receiving, it is in loving those who hurt you and hate you and utter bad things against you. We live in a world of love and hate - it is evil against good - to reverse this is to render good for evil - It is what Jesus did - Love and Peace Always lil flower

So true, Sandi. Love many times endures, instead of soaring. Well said.

Peace.
