Life Lessons From 'The Notebook'

Try not to be too shy to tell someone how you really feel, 
      be adventurous and always try new things even if it’s scary-
Take advantage of the beautiful moments, they can heal, 
         you may never know how someone can be so caring. 
Take chances on love, be courageous and daring. 

        Compromise is important but don’t change who you are,
for small romantic gestures can go a very long way-
  Don’t be afraid to enjoy special moments under the stars, 
sometimes a touch means more than words can say. 
          Awake every morning as if it was a fresh new day. 

Life is just a series of moments strung together, 
            there may be arguments, but forgiveness can bring grace-
Sometimes in the beginning you just know love’s forever, 
   you can tell just by the look upon your beloved’s face. 
Make sure your sense of humor you never erase.

        Your heart may not always care about being logical, 
for the heart wants what it wants even if it’s unlikely-
   Living a long life with someone can be quite magical, 
there’s nothing like starting a loving family.
          Allie and Noah Jr. died together in heavenly harmony.

Oh, I love this movie and I ADORE this poem, Laura ... this movie is SO much like my first true love and I - so many parallels - and I think I've watched it a hundred times by now, (and the MUSIC - OMG - love it!) ... what a gorgeous write, my friend, and a must to fav. I want to do this contest, too, but so far my muse has not been ignited. I so love your work, Dear Poet Friend! Blessings! :-) <3

I read the book before the movie came out, in fact I read all Nicholas Sparks's books and fell in love with this book instantly. When the movie came out I had my hubby watch it, and I think I swore I saw a tiny tear come from his eye at the end, how can you not cry? Thank you again for all your kindness :) -luloo
