the love quotient
subtract the pain
carry the guilt
minus the blame
isn't an equation for mere mortals
it's impossible to solve
we don't have the calculations
to factor in grace
love is the missing quotient
it's simple mathematics of the heart
but computers can't comprehend
the neverending nature of love
it is infinite
it will continue in an everlasting loop
from its source to the intended
it is reciprocal in truth
carried one to another
the heart is a vast mystery
love uncharted territory
we enter with the understanding
once we venture in
we will not be returning the same creature
for with matters of the heart
there is no definitive answer

I love the ambiguity of the last line. There is no way to measure love, but faith helps with the endeavor. Superior work!

My dearest Brenda be for yourself or another, Either way love can not be measured except it can be for a brief micro sec or go through eternity for lifetimes yet lived and shared...ππΊπΉ
Love comes to us in many ways be it love of surroundings, family , self , lover and love of love...ππ
Love by God's grace given to us is never to be figured out in any science...π
It's just to be allowed UNCONDITIONALLY EVERLASTING FOREVERππ

You're on fire Brenda. Another write that holds equal measures of artful cadence and intimate emotion. I found this piece particularly well balanced in the aforementioned. A beautiful message delivered with grace. A joy to behold.

AND! I'm an Accountant, Crimmy, so I really understood it better than most people!
However, I think it actually CAN be solved!
Here's my theory:
If you take the square root of love, divided by 7, times the adjusted, base income of hatred, times 4, and ACCRUE the square root of some pants, it comes to 7.1258. Right? Then add that to Crimmy, and viola! Love! See, math, and you can make any equation beautiful.
Love,
Matthew.
