The Fool

A person in love can become a fool To all the emotions that are new How can we tell a fool they must beware? Of the things they might say and do. Accept what is offered a love that is true Accept it and hold it to your heart A fool and his emotions a dangerous thing Don’t let them make two lovers now part. A Greek god has looks and the presence too But the emotions he shows would not be like you Handsome and beauty are just surface things To the regret of many that bought golden rings To love and be loved is a precious gift Don’t look for things that aren’t there Just love and be loved and honour and trust To the love of your life just be fair. ©~GG~ 22/02/2103

so true, Mandy....i gots me a woman who loves me and i ain't never lettin' her go.......because she would find me...haha...joking. Love and respect is key to healthy relationships. Women desire love by nature. Men desire respect by nature. So, its easy for men to show respect before love and women to show love before respect, but each must give the other to their mate...and it can't be conditional. That's just my take on it, anyway. Enjoyed the poem!
