Love Series: Day 16

"Let us always meet each other with a smile, 

for the smile is the beginning of love." 

~Mother Teresa

Love is the whisper of earth
When the stars pale
And the dawn winds hail 
A new days birth...
The laughing abandon,
The shining glee 
Of the fountain's leap
And the headlong sweep
Of the sea...

Love is the memory

Time cannot kill, 
The cherished tune,
Gay and absurd...
And the music unheard...
The silence that trembles
And seems to fill
The heart when the song 
Of a bird 
Is still... 



Love is God's plenty...
An endless measure
Of gifts that descend
In sun and in shower
On mountain and plain...
The quickening rain,
And the storied treasure
At the rainbow's end...





Love is the coming alive
of a golden bush 
That cannot wait for spring... 
Blossoms that bring
Joy to the day 
And honey to the hive...

The call of the hills 
and the answering ocean 
When everything's a maze 
and a blaze 
of color and motion...
Torrents of wonder, of waves, 
and wings... 
And the whole sky sings...

But first and last...
Time present, time future, 
and time past... 
Past all belief and thinking of...
Earth beneath  
and heaven above 
Beginning and ending...  
forever new...
Love is you...~Louis Untermeyer

What a wonderful ending to the week. The sunset was just gorgeous this evening. Beautiful...
