I enjoyed reading your contest entry. I agree have a person to love who returns that love is a wonderful blessing that should not be taken lightly. I wish you the best of luck with the contest.

Amen, and the knowing that you have great capacity to love, if it's not. No one loses, even if only one loves. This is a wonderful entry, blessings...

Well, you know the old song, 'if you can't find someone to love, love the one you're with'? Lol! Forty one years married, I guess just tolerating each other will have to do. :) This is nice though. Well written and thoughtful. S.

A lovely idea, Bill. May I suggest something a little more dynamic instead of "more pleasant"? How about "worth living" or "happier". Just a thought. Best of luck in the contest. :) Nancy

Well written, follows the outlined requirements. Love the addition of the word IF, that is really the crux of the matter isn't it... Relationship Risk can pay off a great reward or result in rejection but we love and we learn through these essential lofe lessons. Cheers :)

All I can say is. . . . ..isn't THAT the truth!

Okay, I do have a constructive comment as well. I'm really thinking the lines are in the wrong places. I believe finding someone to love. . . . . makes life more pleasant and then bliss if its returned flows better, in thought if not in syllable count. :)

Man is a social animal and need to have relationships with others of its species. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very good read.

Thanks for sharing this poem. It is nice to have someone to love. But, at least dogs won't tell you what to do or argue with you. JW.
