I wish I loved the Human Race

I wish I loved the Human Race;

I wish I loved its silly face;

I wish I liked the way it walks;

I wish I liked the way it talks;

And when I’m introduced to one,

I wish I thought “What Jolly Fun!”

Sir Walter A Raleigh (1861-1922)

    It is better to have loved and lost,
    than never to have loved at all.

    Elizabeth Browning (please check if I’m wrong)

    why not love it , it’s freakish and fun ;
    why not love it, don’t shudder and shun;
    why not show it how different ’tis becomes;
    why not show it when it isn’t deaf and dumb;
    observe your heart and you will see;
    It’s in your soul and your esprit.
