WHAT IS LOVE© Annie Halliwell

I HAVE BEEN CONTEMPLATING LOVE FOR SOME 70 YEARS I HAVE HAD SPRINKLINGS OF IT THAT’S WHAT KEEPS ME ADDICTED

WE FIRST SEE LOVE THROUGH THE EYES OF OUR MOTHER OFF AND ON THROUGH OUT THE YEARS WE COULD SEE THE LOOK ... WHEN WE HAVE SUCCEEDED AND THE LOOK IN HER EYES ... WHEN WE FAILED. WHEN YOU HAVE LIVED MOST OF YOUR LIFE YOU LOOK BACK AND SEE MISSED OPPORTUNITIES AND WONDER ... DO WE NEED TO TEACH LOVE 101 IN OUR SCHOOLS OUR WORLD WOULD BE DIFFERENT... NO MISSED OPPORTUNITIES FOR LOVE IS THERE A WARRANTY YOU CAN BUY TO BE SIGNED BY THE BRIDE AND THE GROOM TO GUARANTEE THAT LOVE WOULD LAST THROUGHOUT THE MARRIAGE ... SUCCESS AND HAPPINESS... NOT DIVORCE BUT THEN YOU REALIZE THAT THERE ARE NO GUARANTEES IN LIFE BUT SOMEONE TOLD ME THAT THE MORE LOVE YOU GIVE ...THE MORE LOVE YOU WOULD GET BACK SO I SAY TO EVERYONE ... LOVE YOURSELF I SAY LET’S LOOK AT OURSELVES LIKE OUR MOTHER LOOKED AT US SEEING REALTY ... BUT LOVING OURSELVES ... ANYWAY
