Moggy's Mutterings - 8. Love

1.
Love should be given as a gift–freely, willingly and without thought to getting anything in return. We as humans, forget this

 

2.
You may not understand the intensity in which I loved,
nor how I cared about all those whose life’s paths crossed mine,
but I could not curb that instinct within me to love,
no matter how it may have wounded me.

 

3.
Just because you open your heart to love another,
does not take away anything from the ones you loved before

 

4.
I loved you yesterday.
Our love blossomed. Like the bright, shiny silver of newborn steel.
I love you today.
Dull gray steel, the backbone in the architecture of our life.
I’ll love tomorrow.
Rusty and brittle, it still stand against the hand of time.

 

5.
Love is an attitude.
Love is a prayer for the heart in despair.
Love suffers with the sorrow of another.
Love rejoices with the happiness of a friend.
Love gives water when another’s well runs dry.
Love reaches low to raise someone high.
Love seeks to light the dark places in the world.

sappy stuff from me

I liked all of these, but I think the one I loved was #4.  It describes a lasting and abiding love perfectly.  In the beginning it's shiny and new, over time it begins to show signs of wear, but is still keeps you strong.. finally, after many years, it may be tarnished, and brittle, but is still enough to see you through.  Simply lovely, Moggy. :hug:
