Searching For Love
by Charles E Minshall
I searched Encyclopedias
And dictionaries too,
Searching for the words
To express my love for you.
I read them all
Page after page,
I even read the works
Of sage after sage.
But I guess these words
Will have to do,
The simple words
I do love you.
For there are no words
That I can find,
To tell you of the love
That I have in mind.

You are always able to pull this off...you and your wonderful muse! —Jill |
