Age-old Wonder

Love; a lot more than a verb

Robs pride of composure

Fully told, it has no words!

Breath-by-breath disclosure

This poem was inspired by a young mom, who on her son's first birthday wrote,

'we love you more every minute'

Oh, isn't this the glorious thing about love?!

I'm an older mom learning...

there is still always something new to discover about love!

Everyone has their own favourite love songs...here are a few of mine:)

Love is never at a standstill

Like a sea its breakers roll

Obscure ocean of emotion

Roars through harbours of the soul

Love is not for bored bystanders

Searching for serenity

Storm of fulfillment and hunger’s

Startling synchronicity

Never quite enough to utter

‘I have all the love I need’

From a fount of mystic measure

Holy hope and heartache bleed

We should be kind to each other

Partakers of common thirst

For we are all sister, brother

Through the One who loved us first

Love, such wonder to discover

Old as Time, yet good as new

Always surprising newcomers

With its wink-blush-kissy-coo

Ah, the longer that I love you

I find fresh depths to explore

For the longer that I love you

Love, I love you more and more
