Let Love Grow
What is the right measure of love?
Love will surely fade if there’s not enough.
Come on too strong and fast,
it most certainly will not last.
If you try too hard to hold on tight,
love will be fleeting, just like the night;
pushing your loved one out of sight
causing you to wonder why love took flight.
It slipped right through your grasping hand,
as if you were trying to squeeze grains of sand.
When love knocks at the door of your heart,
don’t answer in such a hurry; be smart.
Take your time to find out who’s there
because rushing it might give them a scare.
Be patient when seeking true love;
If it’s real, it’s sent from heaven above.
You will know when it happens to you,
you’ll feel it in your heart, through and through.
From experience I learned, take things slow;
cultivate new love, be patient and let love grow.
