If Love Was Easy

If love was easy
There would be no need to develop trust
Love would be drowned in lust,
Days would be long and,
Nights would be cold,
No one to take your hand as you grow old
Wedding vows would diminish
Families would be redefined
In a world inconsiderate of time
The love of parents and children are not exempt
Helping each other would not even be a worthy attempt
Without trails so much growth would be lost,
Loving with ease comes at such a great cost
So remember when your heart is bruised and sore,
If love was easy, there would be nothing to strive for.
