Love Poem: Love Is All Around

Love Is All Around

There are many things we’ll never understand about love…
many secrets we’ll never find…
like how whenever love is shared there’s always a little left behind…

It lingers on the ground…It drifts upon the air
perhaps that’s why we’re fond of saying…love is everywhere.

Why not stop and take a moment this season
and think of the compassion it took to design love…
then look around your life…and see if you can find love….

For one of the wonders of love……is how easy it is to see….
It’s in your wife, your children, your grandchildren…
your friends and family

It’s in smiles, it’s in laughter…you’ll find that it appears
In a baby’s eyes, a tender touch…it’s even in some tears…

It’s in a hug…a kiss, a look…it’s universal across all lands
It’s in the gentle way we touch……the way we hold each other’s hands…

Why you can find it anywhere…if you look…if you believe
It’s waiting in the flowers…It’s reflected on the leaves…

This was just to get you started…
I’ve only named a few…
The remaining verses in the poem…
well…I’ll leave that up to you…

Up to you to find them
in their different sizes, shapes and kinds…
Up to you to discover all those little pieces
love has left behind..
