Love is Something We do to Each Other

Love is somthing we do to each other

  and can not take it back

  It's like the mail--once dropped in the box

  it's in the hands o fa higher authority

  What's said is done and written in the heart

  and its best salutation is always

  your first name

  It stands alone. Always alone

  And you'll never know if it was received

  even if it was delivered in person

  Love is always generous

  and gives more than it takes

  It lives for a second helping

  and when the spoon goes in the dish

  a third or forth time

  it is a sermon on the mount--the loaves

  and fishes keep on coming

  Love is beyond value

  No scales can weigh it

  No accountant can account for it

  No poet can poet it

  It simply is something we do to each other

  and cannot take it back
