Quote from “I Love You” familyfriendpoems.com/poem/81031

I love your lips when they’re wet with wine
And red with a wild desire
I love your eyes when the lovelight lies
Lit with a passionate fire.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Quote from “I Love You” familyfriendpoems.com/poem/81031

But give me the love that so freely gives
And laughs at the whole world’s blame,
With your body so young and warm in my arms,
It sets my poor heart aflame.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Quote from “Thanksgiving” familyfriendpoems.com/poem/42003

But blessings are like friends, I hold,
Who love and labor near us.
We ought to raise our notes of praise,
While living hearts can hear us.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox
