February 14, 2009 - Thinking of life, love and happiness that comes from many years of time spent with loved ones. On Valentines I reflect on love - my own love for others and the love I have received in return. My own belief is that giving is better for the soul than receiving. With this in mind I will examine every moment, every opportunity, to give love, understanding and patience to any and all that are near me - without conditions. I learned a new word which I am trying to figure out how it fits into my thoughts at present, but the word is limerance. |
A Valentine’s DayIn a waiting room, waiting, I heard our infant’s first cry In a dreamlike state My youth flashed by Through the years, With ample joys And sweetened tears, We added a girl to the boys It has been a joyous life For me and my wife Looking back now I think I know why I distinctly heard that very first cry These very early sounds Were the start of many rounds It makes this Valentine’s Day Special in its own loving way Philip |
