Please Stretch My Heart

Thank you truly for “stretching my heart” For it taught me that I’m not so smart, Though it hurt, now I think I can see A fresh longing for intimacy. When before I thought I was in charge There was love’s failure looming so large Now we share in the risk and the blame, Not to mention the joy and acclaim. Though relationships always take work To be sharing the load is a perk, And reduction of unneeded stress Can contribute to real happiness! So the songs about love taking two Aren’t about my control over you Let’s just share in the love of the game I suspect we’ll be happy we came! Brian Johnston June 18, 2016
