HUNGRY FOR LOVE


How do you see into another soul
Is it sight or touch
A feeling met in an instant
Of revelation and compassion

The look of a child's eyes
Hungry for love
No food or a giving hug
They will still play into the night

Always reaching out to anyone
Ready to hold them
That does not change with age
Only the dynamics of love

More frailties come to the front
Exposed often in pain
The reaching sometimes
Desperation in not knowing what is held in tomorrow

A smile can be treacherous
Or simply giving and honest
Cynicism makes the decerning more complex
Never stop trying, look for good in all
