Some Words Speak for Themselves
Some words just speak for
themselves ..
They need no advocate,
or poet to recite them ..
HOPE
is surely, but one of them ..
And should be
bottled, clearly labelled,
kept safely,
then savoured and saved ..
LOVE
is another such word surely
worth dying for ..
Believe me, wars are still
fought over it
and tears frequently shed ..
PEACE
shall serve here, as my final
example,
the stuff dreams are made of
and a contradiction
in terms, since man fights so
many wars
in its name, just to achieve it ..
Yet today, it remains
distant and so far out of reach ..

Beautiful my dear Nev. 🌹
Bless you dear Teddy .. 🌹
You've chosen wisely and well my friend, words that should be taken to heart and not carelessly bandied about, but uttered with the deepest respect. You've made my day!
and you mine Bella ................. 💛
Hope, love and peace. The most important words in the dictionary in present times of conflict. How eloquently you convey the meaning of those three little words that can make every difference to our planet. Thank you Neville.
No, thank you Cassie ............. 🍷
A fine write N.
Now KP and I don't help towards peace, with our constant fighting like cat and dog. Doh!
Do many cats and dogs actually fight each other?
You beaten that egg yet?!
My dog has a thing about cats and postmen, she has nothing but contempt for both ..
Another homerun. All we can do is hope and pray.
One can only try .. cheers TWC
May the hope of peace and love be with all very shortly Neville.
Andy
wouldn't that be just lovely .. I hope so and truly tooly .. ta Andy .. Neville
Hope the beginning of all things such a great beginning. Love that amorphous emotion impossible to define. So often misunderstood. If God is everything, everywhere, and all present then God is love. I see all nature as love. Peace comes after Hope is realized and love is present. There is too little of each in this world and probably will be for some time but as John Lennon said I cant help but "Imagin e". Great write Neville
under any circumstances, I would be obliged to thank you my friend and so I shall .. Thank you sorenbarrett & so very muchly .. Neville
