Notes About The Poem

Love Is Actually Acceptance

Oh, when two fall in love all is entrancing,
magical, romantic-  pure in every way;
with bouquets of roses, dining and dancing,
sweet kisses and whispering and great foreplay.
Then, a change as the affair is advancing,
you see little things that leave you in dismay;
there are days gray when you notice your love's flaws,
but love is accepting those flaws with no pause.

Curtis Johnson August 18, 2017 at 11:59 PM Many more relationships would last if this knowledge and understanding were known and practiced. Acceptance is a choice, and at least half of us in marriage choose to reject rather than accept. That's just in the category of marriage. Lack of 'acceptance' is causing misery and pain throughout the world. My friend, your theme 'Acceptance' is a great choice. Great poem. Blessings. Curtis.
