*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 ---

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!!
