There was a line that led to love.
Crowds gathered in their numbers,
Awaiting the apportionment,
Of said commodity
It’s no wonder so many wanted to partake in the exercise.
It came with absolutely no price tag.
The countenance of most betrayed them as they tried so hard—yet failed—to hide their ecstasy
I noticed that I was alone in my boat of anxiety.
I shivered at the thought,
That all would have been exhausted before it got to me.
And then I smiled at the realization of my needless worries
“How did I not notice it?” I thought.
Boldly written, it was,
The inscription is right in front of my face.
It read, “There’s plenty of love to go around.”
