At each sunset,
When the day has
Outdone itself to
A brilliant remembrance
At dusk.
At each moon rise,
When night decks
Herself in diamond
Stars, and bathes
In enchanting moonlight:
The heart stops a
Moment;
To feel the magic
And soothe the cares;
To count the blessings
And remember the giving;
To revere the only thing
That matters anymore-
Love.

An old favourite. Also a re-post. 🙂 But sometimes I just like to read this and hope, and hope again, that all will be well. That Love will find a way 🙂

Usha,Good poem, as usual.I personally believe ‘love’ is one of those ‘over-abused’ words.To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead – Bertrand RussellCheers,
