Life's Too Short Not to Love

Romans 13:8

Tomorrows come,
But never arrive.
Today’s always here;
Yesterdays never were.

Time never waits,
So neither should we.
Life’s too short not to love.

Friendless days are longer
Than happier ones;
Loveless nights are an eternity.

No one should sleep
Without being embraced.
Life’s too short not to love.

A cord of three strands
Does not easily break;
Even two are stronger than one.

Tie the whole world up
With harmony’s rope.
Life’s too short not to love.

A moment comes once
In every lifetime,
To be invested or thrown away.

Don’t count minutes,
But make your minutes count;
Life’s too short not to love.

Poetic truth. I like. Life's too short not to achieve the love our hearts yawn. Thanks for posting this, Robert.

Wise. Wise. Wise, Robert. Good! Someone recently put love to me this way:

"Love has a different tune: I love you, therefore you are free to do as you wish. My love says you cannot do any wrong in my sight. My love says you cannot hurt me for it would not wish to make you responsible for the way I feel. My love says I am here for you if you want me, or I can be gone if that is what you wish. My love does not depend on your performance to exist - it depends entirely on a choice I make, moment by moment. My love accepts that you may even come to hate me for what I am and it is strong enough not to compromise itself to please you. My love cannot be manipulated. My capacity to love is infinite and is not bound by your feelings or desires."

Thanks for this. Love and peace,

Regis

It would be hard to discover anyone who doesn't prescribe to this wonderful thing called love. Except maybe Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.
