Love Is...

Love is never easy!
For, if it were easy,
nothing could be attained.
No effort would be made.
No struggles, together,
could strengthen.
Love is never easy!
For if it were easy,
we wouldn’t appreciate
that which we have.
We would not know what
love could really be.
Love is not constant affection,
nor is it flowers and candy.
It is simply thinking
about that other
and being willing to be there,
even at its worst.
Love is a tidal wave
of passion
that permits you
access to
the other person’s soul.
Love is a mountain
that you must
continue to climb
in order to look down
and see your progression.
Love is a work in progress;
a forever changing masterpiece
on the canvas of life.
Best of all,
love is eternal,
so long as you
make it to be.
