LOVE is Grand,  LOVE  is  Great,  LOVE  is  Complete!

AWAKEN TO LOVE

I  had  a  bad  dream  last  night
I dreamt  life  without  love,
What  a  disturbing  sight
This  nightmarish  vision  of  fright
Thank  GOD  for  Love
Thank  GOD  for  Light
Thank  goodness  for  the  light   love  brings
Love  has  brought  me  past  the  beginning
Love  has  made  me  appreciate  its  ending
Learning  to  Love  Unselfishly
Illuminating  and  Embracing  blemishes
In  Myself,  Finding  GOD  by  myself
Or  better  yet  being  found  by  Love  in  itself
Being  quite  naked  in  evil  replete
I  am  so  glad  Love  found  me
Casting  light  that  burned  away  a  heart’s  darkness
Now  basking  in  the  light  of  day  and  loving  it
Rising  to  shine  of  love  promised
Although  tomorrow’s  day  is  not   promised
Love  promises  to  stay   for  as   long  as  long
Graciousness  abounds
Characterized  by  smiles  for  miles   around
In  this  easy  gesture,  is  my  treasure
To  make  Love  to  Love  would  be  a  pleasure
Of  which  is  a  daily  measure
In  Dosages   of   Gratitude
Is  My  Plan  for  Love
To  My  Last  Breath  is   Breathed
In  Love  I  Hope  to  Sleep  Lastingly
Where  the  nights’ slumber  is  just  a  nap
Awakening  to the  continuity  that  is
Love’s  Everlasting  Light!
I  had  a  bad  dream  last  night
I dreamt  life  without  love,
What  a  disturbing  sight
This  nightmarish  vision  of  fright
Thank  GOD  for  Love
Thank  GOD  for  Light
Thank  goodness  for  the  light   love  brings

Love  has  brought  me  past  the  beginning
Love  has  made  me  appreciate  its  ending

The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
