Mud-Puddle LOVE

T h e r e !

It’s   out   there.     .     .

I  like  a  love  that  shows  up  filthy

and  intends  on  getting  muddier/dirtier

by  the  very  moment.       .       .

U       N       D       E       R        S        T        A        N        D,

I   love   the   Hallmark,

Hollywood   kind   of   love.       .       .

AS  PREVIOUSLY DOCUMENTED

Our kids will bet every time who will cry first,

mom or dad,

when you put the ‘chick-flick’ on.       .       .

and to be honest,

they’ve not lost a whole lot of money

betting on  M E.       .       .

B           A           M.           .           .

I’ll let the tears go,

save your tissues,

let those tears race down my face

to see which hits the beard first.

I don’t care!

BUT.          .          .

that’s not the kind of Dirty,

muddy,

pot-holed kind of love

I’m talking about.         .         .

I’m talking about the kind of love

that shows up filthy dirty,

holes in the pants,

gloves crusted in dried dirt,

hat matted with sweat and mud,

shoes with more

‘H  O  L  E       T  H  A  N        S  O  L  E’

and zipperless coats that don’t hold the heat

and invite a cold that makes the heart shiver

more than a regular beat.          .          .

THAT   KIND   OF   LOVE

wont’ get you a movie part

or probably even noticed

but it  WILL  get you remembered.        .        .

Want to have the most perfect of  Valentine’s Days?

S     K     I     P         I     T !

Seriously,

S         K         I         P                  I         T!

Be more concerned about February 19

or the 28th or even April 14.          .          .

that’s the Love that’ll matter the most.          .          .

Love’s a dirty,

muddy-filled pothole

that will jar you

when you least expect it

on a day that has no calendar page assigned to it.       .       .

Psssssssssssssst:

T  H  A  T ‘ S       T  H  E        G  O  O  D        N  E  W  S !

s o m e t i m e s.       .       .

LOVE       SHOWS       UP

Not   quite   in   the

SHAPE

TEXTURE

COLOR

We expect.          .          .

And Glorious as it is,

WE  MISS  IT—

D O N ‘ T

Love  doesn’t  have  to  be  flowers,

a box of chocolates,

a long look that’ll knock you to your knees,

a kiss that will outlast the ravages of dementia.        .        .

Love doesn’t have to be perfect

t  o        b  e        l  o  v  e !

Love just moves into the most unlikely neighborhoods

when everyone else boards up and moves away.       .       .

Don’t let the imperfect,

messy,

dirty-hearted

love stop you

from not only doing what your heart does best,

but   what   another’s   needs   the   most!

May your Love be a  

V   E   R   B.        .        .   

and never a Noun!

Now   go   jump   in   a   mud   puddle!
