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.

    I could be Love.
    I could be talks.
    I could be Walks.
    I could be Touch.
    I could be cry.
    I could be laugh.
    I could be good.
    I could be Bad.
    I could be smart.
    I could be stupid.
    I could be mistake.
    I could be Done.

    Have fun!

    “I for give you life mistake”
    “I for give you not insincerity”
    “I for give you mean so much”
    ‘I never for give you worse”

    Good Luck

    “with out jubilantly”
    “with out Love”
    “with out myth”
    “with out grace”
    “with out wholehearted”
    “with out lust”
    “with out fascination”
    “with out appease”
    “with out merciful”
    “with out fool’s paradise”
    “with out masquerade”
    “with out Soul”
    I am rest and love.
    I am free and completely.
    It seems so incomprehensible to me.

    God bless you
