Love Credo

My simple philosophy in life...
The word love is only one letter different from live. Take the 'i' (self) and replace it with an 'o' (the ring a symbol for union / love). The circle, a continuation without end.
A life without love is a life not worth living.

 

Let LOVE be your walk
LOVE before you talk
Speak the truth with tact
but LOVE before you act
First LOVE then choose
Do not blow your fuse
Let LOVE rule your days
Be gentle in all your ways
Avoid contempt & scorn
forgive wrongs with every morn
Be punctual, never late
it's rude to make others wait
Practice moderation,
respect and consideration
LOVE is humble, love is kind
LOVE sees and acts blind

If you want love to be your crown
Make LOVE a verb and not a noun

~o~

I am faint with a lesson 'thought-learned' but never 'felt' so graciously, Chanti. Must it be, with All?

I am in your verse, but, I am not your verse, and it saddens me I cannot Be This.

Chanti,
The last two lines are a treasure. This is outstanding. I'll carry this one with me.

P.S. I have some thoughts on love in my poem "Love Is Not" you might want to ponder sometime.

For me, love has been a preposition because I simply cannot end a sentence with it.

LOVE should bind us together and guide us thru life
May LOVE find us together and hide us from strife

Very good advice here Chanti! We often say things that hurt, because we do not think first.
An awesome tribute to Love, one I think I may remember for some time to come.
