LOVE OF LIFE

Life itself is bigger than any love affair
The magic of being in love may disappear
One partner may become tired of what both share
Leaving the other in a sad state of despair

If you are one with love that is still enduring
Please be thankful each day for what you are sharing
If the love you once shared has come to an ending
Though it may not be easy please stop your crying

The price you are now paying with your suffering
Is not worth someone who is no longer caring
So just wipe away all those tears and start smiling
Lift your head up and see the sun is still shining

Listen to the birds and you will hear them singing
Look at a sunset and enjoy what you're seeing
Feel the glorious warmth of the sunshine on your skin
Enjoy fully the wondrous beauty of living

Even though life may not be peaceful as a dove
Here is something you should always mindful of
Love of life is more precious than all other love
Grasp this sacred treasure with blessings from above

Hi, socrates44,
While, as the poet writes, Life itself is bigger than any love affair, it's not always easy to let go of one's despair when love is no longer there. Listen to the birds and you will hear them singing Look at a sunset and enjoy what you're seeing Feel the glorious warmth of the sunshine on your skin Enjoy fully the wondrous beauty of living is good poetic advice to begin the healing. Thanks for sharing

Thanks for your comment.
I'm glad you agree.
Your poem "I'm Falling", in which you expressed your love affair with life, inspired me to write this piece.
There is so much beauty all around us if we take the time to observe and enjoy it. This is a part of the Love of Life.

A really, really good piece of advice, dear poet, I too am of the opinion that no matter what we should move on with our lives. Life is too short to waste it on anything other than enjoying it fully! Loved your poem, well done and many thanks for sharing!cheers bouquet
