 Love Compared

written for Glenda on Mothers Day 2000


        at night when I see the universe
        and the moon floating high
        the low distant streaking star
        the soft lonely night owl cry
        my mind fills with joyfull verse

        but compared to you my love
        it is nothing.........

        walking on the beach at sunrise
        seeing urgent swooping gulls
        the flashing beacons far
        drumming of the fishing hulls
        the peace and tranquillity defies

        but compared to you my love
        it is nothing.........

        camping in the low hills outback
        early morning dingo howl
        thumping of the kangaroo
        possibillity of a nugget now
        rugged mountains red and black

        but compared to you my love
        it is nothing.........

        tiger snake long sleek and lithe
        green tree frog small and cute
        the racing henry huntsman
        or the bouncing monarch flute
        a bungarra stands to give the eye

        but compared to you my love
        it is nothing.........

        marilyn monroe goddess of love
        bardoe with a pout and pose
        grace so tall and elegant
        diana such an english rose
        elle mcpherson rich to dream of

        but compared to you my love
        it is nothing.........
