Love, the epitome of humanity
Without love we are empty
Kindness and wisdom combined
Makes a heart brimful of love
Love is not limited to the special one
It encompasses everyone in our circle
It shows in thoughtful actions and words
It exhibits itself in our touch and care
It’s seen in what we sacrifice for those we love
Without love in our lives, we are empty

Written for; WQ #6: February 8: LOVE/RED, hosted by Marsha

Lovely poem, Sadje. I think your life reflects these lines, “Love is not limited to the special one
It encompasses everyone in our circle.” I think you must touch so many people each day with your own special brand of love. Have a wonderful week, my friend.

Sometimes it is just a smile with some good listening that makes folks comfortable. There are a few new faces at our gym class… and they seemed to gravitate to those who do just that! We can expand our circles like a drop in water… radiate and overlap universal kindness 🙂
I’ve seen plenty of legos… but not rose legos! Lovely 🙂

You’re so right Jules! Kindness and a smile is often the magnet that pulls people in.
Theses Lego roses were posted by Marsha. I hadn’t seen these before either. Very beautiful

I bought some legos at a garage sale years ago… I’m still doling them out to my grands a little at a time!! Some parts and little people are very unique. 😀

I’ve got some from Star Wars… I think.
My grands would take them apart – even take the little hands off! I tried putting a few back together, but I had some parts more, and some less…
