To God, it's all the children of the world, proved by the cross of the
Son He loves.

Wonderfully witty plays on words
each line has me laughing with its cleverness
I also like the alliteration in lettuce love
I wonder how many people under 60 will get the dog reference to Lassie :-)
I like the turn from funny to sentimental in the closing lines :-) Brooke

I have to assume this qualifies for free verse. I'm not a poet so that I could not tell.
To the giraffe, love is worth the stretch- I thought this was the cutest one.
To the father, it's his wife, his daughter, and his son
To the mother, it's her husband, her son and her daughter
To the Grandparents, it's all their children and children's children
As a patent and grandparent, this are so true.
Nicely done, my friend.

Comment from MissMerri
Yes! You have given the greatest description of the many faces of love, from awkward to sublime. I strongly identified with them all, I believe. I've never been a father, but I had a great one, and am married to another superb father, so I can relate. Thanks for always posting poetry that makes wonderful sense. I enjoyed this free verse very much.

A very clever and intelligent poem, with perception into our lives concerning love and how it relates to us as individuals. Good write.

Hi Dennis,
That picture is adorable. I think this would make a great children's book with the right illustrations. I can visualize Sunday school teachers reading it to their classes.
Hugs,
Lou

My Funny Brother,
How do you come up with these humorous thoughts? (1-7)
The last notation, "To God its all the children of the world
proved by the cross of the Son He loves" earned the six.
