If four little letters placed next to each other could effectually change our perspective on things, those same little letters beside one another that unite husbands and wives with symbolic rings,
What else could be done with such power so Divine from four little letters positioned in a row where people are changed by intended design by the mystical 'word' these four letters bestow?
Could PEACE be the end of all strife amongst men? Could HOPE be the reward of all who discover? Could FAITH quench the turmoil of doubt within? Could SELFLESSNESS develop between one another?
The mysterious power of these four letters in a row making a simple word that's exalted above all others, with life changing effects upon all who might know it's Divine ability of converting strangers to brothers.
These four little letters when placed side by side will reveal this powerful word I've written of these four little letters in all hearts should abide So that toward ALL we respond in nothing but L.O.V.E.

About this poem:
One of my Pen-Pals asked me to consider writing and submitting a Valentines Day poem for the poetry forum, so in honor of "Jib" I have done just that. Being as I have no 'Valentine' of my own, I've made my poem of more of a generality of LOVE for ALL to enjoy. It's early I know.... but HAPPY VALENTINES DAY to all of you wonderful poets of C.S. !!! q:-)
That's such a nice idea swade, I imagine there will be a lot of valentine poetry soon here - but yours will be the 'official' first one for 2011 lovely write

very beautifully said, it still early love my arise for you happy valentine day
These four letters in a row mean love, that encompasses peace, hope, faith and selflessness. This is what we all expect of our love that I wish all should experience in life. Nice beginning of Valentine's poetry here on CS. Good wishes to you, Swade.

LOVE it! Esp. the line "... converting strangers to brothers." Really great writing, too
A truly wonderful poem swade777. I hate poems that are words, with no emotion linking them together...yours says it all with sincere basis....nice one...Niah

Absolutely Absolutely Absolutely agree with all. Great poem Swade Love is the key here but you have created the whole story here.Love it. Can anyone tell me what Human stands for. How it was constructed. I know I can go to the Internet but are there any guesses. There is no L in this word.MMMMMMM????????????: Also why can I not make my emoticons come where I want them to. They always go to the end.

Powerful write, filled with good intention, strong and sure, Thank you sir, your writes are helping to list the planetary vibrations. CJ
You're new to the poets corner and you bring a very admirable talent of writing with you! Your views and comments to my poetry are both very much appreciated!! Thank you!!!
Late (or VERY EARLY?) though it is.... Happy Valentines Day to you as well!! :-)
OOPS!!! I put 'Country GIRL'.... sorry! "Country LADY!" Actually, it was a deliberate mistake just to provide me with a good reason to write you another quick note! :-) (Problem is, I did it earlier today as well, and didn't follow up with an 'oops' note..... consider this note to be applied to both 'oops' incidents!! :-) be patient with me, I'll eventually get it right!!!
It would just be so much easier for me to call you by your real name - 'Dug-Out Mom'

Mysterious power of your four letters in a row. A great read swade777 and clever way with words.
Seawhisper..... an unfamiliar name to me here on poet's corner, but a welcomed one indeed! Thank you so much for your comment and for taking the effort to dig this one out of the vault. Maybe you saw my comment about choosing between this poem and my more recently posted one titled "TIME" as potential candidates for an up-coming poetry contest? If so.... any thoughts on which one would be the better choice? Feel free to answer that question as an e-mail rather than a comment so as not to capitalize the poetry forums no. 1 spot. Thanks!!

That should teach those who think that four-letter-words only begin with A,B or C...
