More Words Of Love Poem by Jim Yerman

When you look around the world and think we're in a terrible state
when you start believing love is losing in the battle between love and hate…

here's a little observation to help to ease your doubt…
just a little something to ruminate about…

‘I love you' are the first words we hear the instant we are born
the moment we open up our eyes…
and ‘I love you' are also the last words we hear
the moment before we die?

Think about it…if ‘I love you' are the first words spoken as we enter
and before our final scene
could there be any doubt that ‘I love you'
fills up many moments in between?

So the next time you look around the world and think…
we're in a terrible state…
remember the first and last words spoken to us…
are words of love…
not hate.
