Love Comes Through the Eyes That See

February 14, 2020

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is Valentine’s Day, which is celebrated today, February 14.

I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A Valentine's Day poem for children about love and the five senses:

Love comes through the eyes that see

And through the ears that hear,

For people are quite beautiful,

And words make feelings clear.

Love comes through the hands that touch

With unabashed affection,

For only skin-to-skin can love

Maintain its true direction.

Love comes through the tastes and smells

Of fresh and well-cooked food,

For in the gift of nourishment

Is much else that is good.

But though love comes through senses five,

Love comes from the heart,

For there resides the greater love

Of which ours is a part.
