Poem Title:
Poem
I realized that I so often write on the beauty of love The wonderful joy that it brings into our lives But as we all know, there is also the other side The side when two people disagree on something Be it big or be it small, it has the power to become large The little things can destroy love Like frozen water has the ability to split hard rock The relationship between my wife and I, have faced - Obstacles the size of the Grand Canyon It is of my belief that pride is the worst enemy of love And in all honesty pride is but a deceptive illusion, the father of lies Please don’t get me wrong we have the right to have pride In things we do and who we are But it is imperative for us To control that pride and not let it control us Don’t fall prey to the illusion that you are better than others We are all created equal; each of is a child of God If I may offer some advice regarding a relationship That will help yours nourish and grow Put your pride in the one you love above your own Because self pride or ego if you will, is the devils tool In fact that is what got him cast out of heaven I hold my wife in higher regard than I do myself And she feels the same about me And that makes it very easy for us to communicate Which of course is the key to a healthy relationship What she says means more to me that what I say What I say means more to her than what she says And that makes it very easy for us to stand on common ground In admiration of each other
