Two Seven Letter Words that Make Us Human

 

 

There are seven notes

In a scale

When minor but eight

In melodic

 

There are seven days

In a lifetime

When harmony fills the soul

In content

 

There are seven dwarfs

 

For each Snow White

Fairest in the land

Exiled to a cottage

 

There are seven satellites

Around Neptune

But Pluto, the dwarf planet

Has only five moons

 

In Greek, Spanish and Italian

Cats have

Seven lives

They carry out alone

 

There are seven words

For love in Greek

From eros, philautia and ludus

To pragma and agàpe

 

But

There are two words

Of seven letters made

That all alive, in all times

And in all languages

Wonder alike

 

"FOREVER"

and

"ETERNAL"
