The very sweetest thing
Love is, no doubt about it
The very sweetest thing
It's sun upon the planet
The day the Earth caught fire
Purpose, meaning, other half
Completion, family
It glues and bonds, it cherishes
Elastic teflon-tough
Omnipotent, eternal
One touch to change the world
Love is, no doubt about it
The very sweetest thing
So absence casts a shadow
Of bleak unending night
Dear hostages to fortune
The loved ones fly the nest
While love, enduring, waits for news
In hope and dread in equal part
For ties that bind can hobble
Confine and suffocate
And elastic stretch rebounding
Will deal a vicious blow
It is, no doubt about it
The hardest, sweetest thing
A love that lasts a lifetime
Hooked into the heart
Love is, no doubt about it
The very sweetest thing
It's sun upon the planet
The day the Earth caught fire
Purpose, meaning, other half
Completion, family
It glues and bonds, it cherishes
Elastic teflon-tough
Omnipotent, eternal
One touch to change the world
Love is, no doubt about it
The very sweetest thing
So absence casts a shadow
Of bleak unending night
Dear hostages to fortune
The loved ones fly the nest
While love, enduring, waits for news
In hope and dread in equal part
For ties that bind can hobble
Confine and suffocate
And elastic stretch rebounding
Will deal a vicious blow
It is, no doubt about it
The hardest, sweetest thing
A love that lasts a lifetime
Hooked into the heart

Fabulous Sally, so descriptive, you are "Full of Love"
ReplyDeleteBless you for saying that Gill. You and I have often grazed over the business of the mother's love and ties to her young.It is ongoing as an issue for me, as you can tell from recent poems....
