I look at the earth and the sky above,
In SEARCH for the `Perfect Love
It could not be found in passion or lust;
but it is only bound with care and trust.
It can't be manipulated by rules and things,
nor guided by the puppets' strings.
There's no perfect love in any abusive thing;
just as you think you found it,
your efforts bring,
sadness and sorrow as you try to cling,
to what once was, but a mortal fling.
I looked into a farmers' field,
Oh! how with love, he did till,
and planted his seed with loving care;
but there was no "PERFECT" love found there.
I turn to the animal world that I might see,
the ferocious beast, comforting its young so tenderly.
But try as I may,
no true love was found that way.
I've searched both high and low to see,
if "Perfect" love could possibly be,
not on earth or in the sea, could it be found; just then as I turned around.
Behold, "Perfect love" at last,
not in a container nor in a flask;
but in the wondrous EYES of a newborn child!!! Opening for the first time, and seeing its MOTHER'S smile. So, blessed and true, I knew for it happened to me as well as you.
For now where on earth can "PERFECT LOVE" live except in our mothers heart and what she gives. So, may GOD bless this mother of mine, and keep HER near to HIM, through endless times, for HE will find "THE PERFECT LOVE".
My mother passed away in 1996. She died in my arms as I held her close to me and I told her I loved her, I loved her and gave her to GOD. Bye MOM, FOR NOW; I'LL SEE YOU SOON. Your son, John Paul.
