Let Love In

Past wounds and scars may shroud our hearts with pain,
Blocking out love, the beacon that guides our way.
But if we let love in and begin to let go,
We’ll learn that love is better if it’s shown.
For in the depths of darkness wounds lie deep,
Where scars of the past haunt our sleep.
But love’s light will shine through the pain,
Guiding us through its labyrinth domain.
Let go of the anger and let go of fear.
Let’s open our hearts to let love near.
For love is the music that carries on.
The melody that plays an everlasting song.
This love that surrounds us all,
Breaks down barriers, and tears down walls.
And at the end, love remains,
Transcending through the hurt of all past pain.
With love’s embrace, we’ll find our way.
And scars of the past will fade away.

One can not truly find love again until they let go of the past and the sooner they do so the better off they are. Just my opinion any way. Your words say this well, Andrea.

Hello, Andrea! Well, I confess, I am a hopeless romantic, and in today's world, love seems not to exist anymore. My late wife passed many years ago, but I am still in love with her as it was the first time I knew her. Your romance can be felt in your writings. Have a Great Day! Warm Regards, William
