Because I Love

In response to Shee's challenge of, "What do I love and Why"

Because I love the whole of humanity

are my brethren in life's journey

the blue orb of earth, my garden of Eden

night's sky the fertile field of exploration

to sate the hunger of my imagination

mighty winds, the quaking of earth

reminders of the awesome powers

of our creator to shape and reshape

all that is

because I love

compassion is neither weakness nor meekness

it is understanding's civility

opposing viewpoints are opportunities

to broaden my knowledge

paths and views not to be offered

those that do not love

are mine to experience and savor

because I love

I am a most grateful recipient of love

reasons, there need not be more

Say Something Terrorible v3 by RickthePoetWarrior

My mom says ‘If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything’. Sorry mom but under the guise of poetic license I penned these beauties.
