A Short Poem about Life

Need of Loving

Poet Strickland Gillilan


Folk need a lot of loving in the morning;
The day is all before, with cares beset-
The cares we know, and they that give no warning;
For love is God's own antidote for fret.

Folk need a heap of loving at the noontime -
In the battle lull, the moment snatched from strife-
Halfway between the waking and the croontime,
While bickering and worriment are rife.

Folk hunger so for loving at the nighttime,
When wearily they take them home to rest-
At slumber song and turning-out-the-light time-
Of all the times for loving, that's the best.

Folk want a lot of loving every minute-
The sympathy of others and their smile!
Till life's end, from the moment they begin it,
Folks need a lot of loving all the while.


More verses on loving:

Love life and life will love you back.
Love people and they will love you back.
Arthur Rubinstein

If God is the DJ,
then Life is the dance floor;
Love is the rhythm,
and You are the music."
