BROKEN HEARTS WILL SOME DAY SMILE

My heart will always be broken many hearts have been broken too the future feels hollow there is no substance felt in the soul when love dies There are reasons for the break but no rationale Isn’t love supposed to be forever? For better or worse? Sometimes, one wonders if this is true yet we, the older ones, who have gone through the fires of hell know true love needs time to ferment like a good apple cider or a good cigar soaked in aged brandy In the meanwhile, hormones take over and we are shot to the four winds to fester until love grabs a hold of us or realities of Life take over Then we see truth How much love there was at the beginning or how much truth was there in your heart when chores and responsibilities become too much to bear or imagined like seeing a mirage or a Hollywood romance movie Love is forged in the fires of necessity and compassion Love also has its roots in affection and caring Love is strongest where the self is subjugated for your mate It is also most powerful when one sees holiness in the home Love is forever, that is true but it has to be earned it is a blessing when one appreciates our mates and the daily burdens they endure for the family Bliss can be had if we understand that marriage is a commitment to a marathon for as long as you both shall live together as long as you are steadfast with love You will weather all storms into the future and come to know the real meaning of true love and greet it with a big huge smile that comes from a well lived life, Giving, sharing and enduring life's trials.
