*Inspired by someone's poem about a hurtful relationship the person is in.

Love is not about going in circles Or riding a pendulum back and forth Playing games with the heart to win Hidden truths kept at a distance within Love blossoms with the opening Of the flower of an inner soul Sharing minds to talk through things Honestly, respectfully without insults Love is not about dragging Someone’s heart through the mud On a lonely barren road Only to leave one feeling less and alone All the while together Love is sacrifice, sharing, trying Being all you can possibly be While empowering another To be all he or she can be Day to day, night to night A commitment that takes two --- To take flight --- Heidi Sands 11/9/17

Yes, it's a give and take thing...to share each others lives together, and not to put the other down, but to lift the other up! There is certainly a sacrifice that is filtered within, and a strong commitment takes work at times, but the love hat is felt between the two is empowering and strongly positive! You should never put your significant other down! You both are in this together, you should share the burdens as well as the joys of life! What a fabulous poem, Heidi, Great Work!!
