Love, what is it good for?

What is it about love that makes the whole world beautiful?
People who fall in love or in like seem to forget there are millions of people crying.
I'm happy they get this release, but is it real? Or is it just mere momentary denial?
And what is it about falling in love that sweeps away every possible reason for tears?
People who are in love only cry during sappy movies or when they get dumped.

Can the affirmations of just one human being assuage the rejections of a universe?
And does anyone ever truly get rejected? Who has ever rejected a friend? An advance, yes,
but a friend?

Smile people who are in love, smile, to give the rest of us hope.

  1. love makes the entire world beautiful because you begin to realize that there is something so strong in this world that can stand up to all the pain, the tears and the cries of anguish.

    love gives us hope for a better world. this new found hope (love) can sweep every possible reason for tears. love is something too hard to explain...its just something that we are lucky to expirience

  2. As of late, romantic love seems so distant.

    I've seen love elsewhere, though...in my nephew's giggles, in the Body of Christ, in my students's friendships, in the mother rocking her baby, and in the police man's weary look as he gazed upon the hopeless accident.

    Even in these instances, I was an observer. I long to participate.
