THAT LAST (LOST) CALL

My first attempt writing a poem.

It was in the month of May,
I am walking alone along the bay.
The walk seemed a lone long way,
Tho' well trodden, in the mid of the day...

A caller comes a-ringing on my cell phone
Then it sounded like an "I love you" tone.
Took the call, feeling like being newly born
But, no response - the caller had gone!

Oh! How I missed that only call
That reminded me of the past big fall.
My experience now seems a trivial joke to all
Shared with a laugh over a smoke, in a mall.

Forgetting the past affair, I drown in a drink
Of glasses of booze, all filled to the brink.
A girl can be as deadly, as fatal as a knife!
A cut you've got can leave a scar for life.

What is Love???*

I was impressed by this very much

A group of 4 to 8 year-old Children was asked, "What does love mean?" The answers they gave were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined.

--"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday" (Tina - age 7)

--"My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night." (Clare - Age 5)

--"When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You know that your name is safe in their mouth." (Billy - age 4)

--"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love." (Rebecca - age 8 )

--"Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs." (Chrissy - age 6 )

--"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired." (Terri - age 4 )

--"Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK." (Danny - age 7)

--"Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well." (Tommy - age 6 )

--"During my piano recital, I was on a stage and scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling. He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore. That's love" (Cindy -age 8)

--"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day." (Mary Ann - age 4 )

Love............ is not only made for lovers....... its also for friends who luv each other sometimes better than a lover . Smile and spread some love today. :-)
