When Love Comes In

When love comes in, the world begins to glow
With new kinds of remembered happiness
We look back on our lives, suddenly know
How many times and ways love that life blessed

Quiet instructors, unassuming friends,
Talkative strangers by whom we have heard
Encouragement unto our chosen ends,
The affectionate glance, enabling word ~

All gifts of love which, most, we overlook
Realities of love we have denied
How much love, we see now, our growing took
All freely given by those at our side

We ready are to freely give as well
To strengthen and encourage, show and tell

*****

Homeless until removal of the stalker/targeter/vandal/arsonist following her allows her to approach any landlord ~ even for a private parking space ~ this poet presently lives under perpetual threat of towing with all possessions should her 23-year-old van stop running for any reason.

She is badly in need of a modest reserve with which to field any emergency which might occur.

Donors may visit http://www.UgiftABLE.com , using code #72D-31S. It does take several days for the poet to be notified of your patronage.

Thank you for supporting quality in the fine arts.
