" Love and Apart"

We count on things in life and sometimes
we should be ready for the fall...
You can count on the sun rising in the morning..
You can count on the sky getting dark in the evening..
But love you see is so tricky when we think we got it all..
Only to be let down by the smallest things like a day 
with no call..
Love you see can change a persons train of thought..
Sometimes we hide so far away hoping never to get caught..
Then again once we think we got it figured out..
Along comes some days we can sure live without..
No answers here to the game of hearts, only to play nice
and in the end hope that we won't be apart..

The "game of hearts" is a great way to reflect on the uncertainty love sometimes brings, Michael. Wish we always knew where we stand in matters of the heart. Excellent poem! Love, Carolyn
