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.
