For today's Two-for-Tuesday prompt:
Write a love poem, and/or...
Write an anti-love poem.
As I have loved you, so you also must love one another.
Romans 12:10
Be devoted to one another in brotherly love.
Romans 12:10
Be devoted to one another in brotherly love.
Outdo yourselves in honoring one another.
1 Thessalonians 4:9
Now about brotherly love, you do not need anyone to write to you,
1 Thessalonians 4:9
Now about brotherly love, you do not need anyone to write to you,
because you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another.
Love’s sweeping invitation crescendos; soft blush and blue...
...Turns gold as renewed Mercy spills, as morning is unfurled
How we reply is crucial; for love is a sacred call
And no one is exempt from its incalculable worth
Fathers, mothers, daughters and sons, neighbors and friends, oh my
Sisters, brothers, grandma, grandpa, grandchildren, husband, wife
So much to love, so little time, to utter our reply
To fellowman, but most of all to He who grants us life
The poetry of love is more than ink-endearments penned
(though The Bard and The Ballad are insep’rable, tis true)
Love is a language we struggle to fully comprehend
Beginning, first with God, who IS Love, then with me and you
Look, everywhere the opportunity to love abounds
How we reply, without a word, expresses evidence
Let’s slow down; listen longer where love’s need and creed resounds
And change the world with love’s unfathomable recompense
Imagine if we all did our little part to love
To lend a helping hand or walk a second mile, to pray
To live the loving kindness this old world needs much more of
And leave unspoken bitter words that love would/should never say
Love’s sweeping invitation crescendos; soft blush and blue
Turns gold as renewed Mercy spills, as morning is unfurled
And God extends love's faithfulness to likes of me and you
To help us love each other as we ought, in this old world

So much to love,...
Pups...
Yesterday morning I noticed the tip of a tail...😂💖
Neighbor's dog (also mentioned HERE) had dropped by in hopes of a treat😆
Who could possibly resist those eyes!!
So much to love...
Mothers & sisters...
So much to love...
Daughters and Granddaughters
(watching yesterday's AWESOME eclipse)
Hard-working hubbies...
The list is endless, truly!
Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
and love your neighbor as yourself.'"
