As I was thinking about a subject for this week’s article, my mind was drawn to love songs played on our own WGOL (100.7 FM/920 AM) country radio station.
I mean, all of us listen to WGOL, don’t we? Just in case you have never listened, I’d say this is as good a time as any to start.
Speaking of songs, “Money Can’t Buy Me Love” came to mind. There is a so-called ‘love’ that is solely motivated through financial gain. These people’s goal in life consists of the finer things, beautiful homes, expensive cars, fine clothes and an image. Gotta have the image!
Love doesn’t matter as much as moving up in the world fast, with little or no effort. The odds of such a union will most likely result in failure.
The marriage that includes God, honesty and sincerity, and that originates from the heart and seriously believes it will last until death do you part, is the kind of love that money can’t buy.
Love that is “Tender and True” doesn’t usually become “Crazy Love.”
It would be so much simpler if “Perfect Love” was nothing more than being in the right place at the right time. Of course, I’d still find a way to complicate it. I’ve been told I make mountains out of molehills. I’d have to question myself as to how I could possibly know if I really was in the right place at the right time. After all, I have been told many, many times that ‘timing is everything.’
Once a person begins struggling with ‘trust issues,’ you will most likely find yourself alone in life and, sometimes, even lonely. I struggle with that myself, so I personally know the way it feels.
I often say, “Oh, I like my life the way it is,” but a person can say anything, right? I don’t sit and dwell on it, but it will surface at times. Not all feelings will stay dormant forever.
If you happen to be the couple who fell in love at first sight, then I’d like to say “Congratulations!”
Trust issues would go like this. I’d look and see that I think my glasses were dirty, since I thought this just might “be the one.” Take ‘em off, wipe ‘em off, and by the time I’d get them back on, my true love will have disappeared. Of course, I’d laugh about it, because that’s what I do best. I then would walk away singing, “I’ve Lost That Loving Feeling” or “It Don’t Come Easy.”
To each his own, I guess. That has just caused an old Doris Day song to come to mind. Well, it might not be her song, but she sang it on a movie I watched years ago. It is the thing that keeps me hoping, that beautiful song, “Whatever Will Be, Will Be.”
Until then: “Love comes to those who wait!”
Have a good day, my friends!Wh
