Know the Difference

There’s a fine line between hate and love, Defined by the Heavens above. Or that man that you hate May someday be your mate And fit like your hand to your glove. A fine line that cannot be seen When nice has been turned into mean. What was ugly is pretty And the dumb are now witty. A blessing where once grew obscene. Intentions are not always pure And the badness good manners obscure. So before you decide You will stay for the ride Know opposites still have allure. When you open the shell for the meat You may find it is not fit to eat. Before paying money For hive full of honey, Be sure the bee’s larder’s replete. Let head rule your heart on first date. Or villain you may over-rate. For I am telling you And I know it is true There’s a fine line between love and hate.
