Poem
Two people meet. Is it by chance? Can love begin with just one glance? How do we know if it is real? Have we imagined what we feel? These questions burn within my mind. I wonder if I'll ever find The kind of love we all dream of, And hope it's sent from God above. Sometimes I think I'll never know Just what it is that makes love grow. If nourishment is what it needs, How can I fertilize the seeds? Hope and Faith are ways to start; Since both are deep within the heart. A small amount of each will be Enough to set our feelings free. We tend our crops with trust and yet, Sometimes our needs are just not met. For trust is such a fragile thing; Once gone, we're still remembering... Just how it felt when love was new; When doubt was never inside you. Your heart believed that all was well, But that was just a fairy tale. Your heart is scarred in ways unknown, Until a new love's face you're shown. And then it's there for all to see; The hurt from that old memory. Try as you might, you just can't rest, Until you know he's passed the test. Can he be trusted with your heart? Will he too, tear your world apart? The only way that we will know Is if we let old feelings go. That fear we have down deep inside Is no more than our wounded pride. So when you love, don't be afraid... Each one of us has been betrayed. We must believe true love is real; Allow our painful past to heal. For nothing ventured, nothing gained, It's not like love can be explained. We have to take a chance you see; In LOVE, there is no guarantee. A love unspoken can't be felt, No matter how the cards are dealt. Too many times we let love pass, To focus more on greener grass. But, just in case you are the one And love for us has just begun, Don't be afraid to show you care, Or someday you may feel despair. A broken heart will heal in time. A risk not taken is no crime. But, if we are AFRAID to live ... How can we GET what we can't GIVE?
