Living Life To The Full or What a Way To Live!!

No matter how successfullyWe gain grandiose boastIf we fail on the scale of loveWe fail what matters most Nothing can take the place of itNo matter who/where we areIn every goal that we pursueLove sets the highest bar *** If we ask ourselves if we are loving people I am sure we allwould like to think we would say Yes!
