The Growth of Love

love is an investment
of intangable things
the the joy the excitment
that love undoubtably brings
the secret and the showing
with little unusual things
where by someone ends up knowing
personally what it means
the caring and the sharing
of gracious giving
the euphoria of life
recieved just by living
and bliss in a kiss
in it's element of surprise
a gift for the suiter 
with closed eyes

marriage is an investment
in material things
the wedding the reception
the honeymoon suite
making love for the first time
that would be neat
vows and promises
that were very sweet
from this day forward
the promise of a life
with real intentions
not to do twice
to walk this earth 
as man and wife
search together 
for other delights

family is an investment
in the future
the inlaws the children
and responsibilities there in
the problems the worries
the presence of sin
and time eating away
the youthful skin
hollidays a chance
to do it again
aniversaries celebrations 
of what did not end
and funerals
a look into a certian future
maybe a book that 
contains an adventure

old age the gift
of many years
uncountable moments
when fears turn to tears
now is known the meaning of one
one being man and woman
someone who knows you 
as well as yourself
your habits your likes
your  problems with health
who shared equially with every loss

(to be cont.)

TS., I'm thinking Love is the only sacrifice we have to offer this world... Our hearts are so large, and the only evidence that says we were once here. Enjoyed this... Linda
