Love and Love Language

Jordan Murphy 1990 (New Bern, North Carolina)



There's nothing quite like a hand in a hand,
not a warm cup of tea, or toes in the sand.
Dreaming together a life of pure bliss, sealed not by a diamond, but a gentle love's kiss.

Each day wondrous and favored memories contrived,
knowing without them beside you, you could not have survived.
The cold dissidence of the new age holds you not in dismay,
in love's iron clutches, fear has no say.

For once in our lives we heed our own advice,
laying waste to the hatred, the violence and vice.
Make a choice here today to write love's song on your spirit,
so that even your children's children's children may listen and hear it.
