A very well-written short love poem. The most important thing a lover likes to know is that we like to be in their company and they are the only one that ever matters in our lives.

Oh that is so true... you have captured the essence of real love. We can feel frayed at the edges personally, or cast out to live uncertainly in less than ideal situations, but when you are with the one you love, and who loves you back ("our love") then that is definitely "all that matters".

Love is the emotion that makes the world go around, right, Melissa?
I suppose it's that way for most.
I really wouldn't know myself.
I know this, however.
This poem is short, sweet, and gets right to the heart of the matter.
Best wishes to you in the contest.

Hello Melissa,
Oh goodness! This five line love poem is incredibly realistic and will resonate with many individuals I have known. It is also affirming that in spite of living "on rough edges," love will see these individuals through their challenges. Wise words for today!

Thank you and best wishes!

Hi, Diane.... thanks a bunch. Love is in all of our hearts now matter what our background is and for those who have had it hard... when they love... they are all in. Or so it seems to me...

Thanks.

Well. I love the words, of course, especially the simply stated...'Life has not been kind'...but I ADORE that picture.
Such a wonderful match for your poem, a simple heart resting on a lonely branch.
Wonderful entry!
Blessings...

Thanks, Judy. So many people have heartbreaks and rough lives... I was kind of thinking of them. When they love... they are all in....

Bless your heart. Love heals us and smoothes those rough edges enough to tolerate life. The artwork you chose is so apt and makes the verse even sweeter. May your love live forever and ever be strong, dear one.
