love is like no other thing
with which we gauge our fares
it takes less than those other things
to feel another cares
but one thing i can tell you sure
this thing i can sustain
when my loved one gives me all her love
i’ll always give her change

Craig – that is truly gorgeous! How lucky is the woman you wrote this for! And, how lovely that you are so open about love – a beautiful quality that men sometimes find so hard to express.
Craig Shillington
Awwwww Rhana {{{{{{hugs}}}}}} Love is beautiful eh :) VBS
Rhana Griffin
Oh Suzanne… thats exactly what I would have said if I hadnt been so damned choked up.
Craig Shillington
Thank you so much Suzanne :) It’s hard not to be open sometimes :) VBS
Rhana Griffin
Yes Craig… love is indeed beautiful. And to be in love is about the best feeling you can ever have. Grab it tight and hold on with both hands, never let it go.
Craig Shillington

Elaine van Dyk
That is so lovely, Craig…......and isn’t it so easy and wonderful to be in love. It takes but a second to fall in love and to be loved, but seems a lifetime to recover when that love is withdrawn!
Craig Shillington
Thanks Whirli, I think the secret with broken love …. is learning to love yourself again :) That helps me heaps anyway :) VBS

Craig Shillington

Suzanne German
Craig – learning to love yourself again – how wise and and true!....without sounding sexist (which I’m not) – it’s wonderful that you’re so in tuch with your feelings and able to be so brave and courageous – what a beautiful quality….wish more men were like you!
Jenny Haskey

Craig Shillington

Your poem is very sweet composition. whimsical also. By the way… Your name isn`t McDonald is it? ( just kidding of course ..I got that from the change back from your dollar part ).
Love is one of the greatest gifts on earth and it supposedly costs nothing monitarily, yet it costs an individual enormously emotionally. It is worth more than silver, gold or all the riches in the world. Learning to love yourself is of the upmost importance.
I think you`ve been talking to my husband… He comes home from work and always gives me change. Smiling! Keep writing that was good!

makes you think Craig, I like it a lot. :)

Cute poem craig and no love can be given before you love yourself first :-) All the best craif – love will find you ready this time Grins
Craig Shillington
{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}} For all of you :) VBS I feel so good right now :) VBS
You are right Suzanne and at some stage when the time is right … the right person will come into my life and want to share that sort of love with me :)
Hehehe Sadly CdW, the woman I wrote this about didn’t realize how much I loved her and let it go in a big way. Such is life I guess and I now understand that just because I can Love someone very much, that doesn’t necessarily mean I will get that back. But it was worth giving. :) I wouldn’t have written beautiful poems like this if it never happened :)
sophbubble
Gosh guys I’m getting all choked up just reading this and your replies! Craig such a beautiful momento of something that perhaps is even a little painful for you??? Thank you for sharing this with us all. Love is one big mystery to me…...even when I thought I had it figured out. All I know now is that love will inevitably change, for better or for worse….lets hope for us artistic and loving souls that it is for the better….and damn soon!!
MissKristy
I’m quite choked up..don’t have the words right now..just sending ((((Huggs)))) :)

I like it. I laughed. The ending is unexpected and cheeky. The idea of giving the loved one change has an old-fashioned humour about it. (:
Trish Cooper
brilliant musings…i love this!!!!
