A Blend Of
A blend of ……
Listen my dear maintaining a harmony
is a key to successful relationship, said the grandpa;
Don’t accept all her mistakes; just try to improve upon;
Currently, it looks good; she is pleased, but why you should
not act now, to avoid facing hard reality in future;
When one day you’ll want to choose, how you expect
her to act for betterment, confusion will grow, shun such
situation right now, don’t wait for auspicious moment.
Don’t make your love for her conditional, must be
practical towards life; This type of soft love won’t work.
Instead of making your love conditional,
try to know each other’s weakness and
together decide next course of actions to rectify;
Will it not be better if both are more open minded
towards each to develop a flawless relationship?
Both to express emotions with direct communication
to eliminate the gap between two of you;
If need be, saying ‘no’ is good, rather than fulfilling
every wish; This is tough love what makes both
to open to each other, accept wholeheartedly.
Don’t forget good relationship depends on
a blend of soft love and tough love, a fine balance
to maintain a harmony for successful relationship.
In need, grandpa is always there for both of you
to shore up for your contentment. Be happy.

The phrase tough love is believed to have originated with Bill Milliken's book of the same title in 1968.
It is an expression used when someone treats another person harshly or sternly with the intent to help them in the long run.
