Two investments

[Doreen Peri]

Time and love are the two
most important investments
but one you'll never get back and the other,
there are no guarantees you'll get a return.

Combining the two is a good idea.
I suggest you invest your time into something
you love and your love into something or
someone worth your time.

That way, when the time is gone,
the love's still there
and when the love is gone,
you can blame it on bad timing.

Seems pretty simple really.
No need for an investment broker.
It's all a gamble anyway, like poker.
Don't let on you're onto the tricks.
Be slick. Keep a straight face.

Love is the royal flush.
Time is the ante.
Percentages fluctuate from
scanty to maxed out.

It's easier not to doubt, but instead
place your bets and roll.
(Or so I've been told.)

For me, both investments
are currently on hold
though I'm not ready to
count my losses.

Did I just hear you define Love as a noun?
and as an investment, no less, in a bear market?
is love an object or a thing or a feeling or a substance?

Time is like fine wine. It ages better with love.
Time is mutable, you can speed it up or slow it down.
Love is immutable, a higher part of speech than a noun

If you look at love as an investment
over time you will surely lose

pffft

You can't lose when you invest love.
It's a verb. An action. Which always gives
back to you since the giving is the joy.

Duh.

(but of course "love" can be a noun, too...
depends on how you use it in a sentence.. lol)

My point exactly, doreen
a gift is not an investment
vast difference here
as you point out, a gift is it's own reward
when you make an investment, you EXPECT a return
this expectation is what kills the natural interest that accrues from a gift
