Michael Degenhardt Poet Quatrain

Two Halves (A Whole)

Love is very simple
It’s an easy thing to do
What’s difficult is trusting
As that’s when love is true

Giving of one’s self to someone
Is in itself, reward
Truly, though, to make it great
You must find shared accord

See, work things through together
If it’s as one, then one shall be
So, reach out to the other
Else the distance set’s you free

Distance isn’t physical
It’s the space that two permit
Grab now, the relationship
To make your two lives fit

It’s all communication
In the things we say and do
So work it out, talk it out
Speak of what’s in you

Lena Townsend July 15, 2008 at 12:17 PM Great advice given from one that knows. It is often true that lack of communication is the reason relationships fail. I think that you are so gifted and that the Lord has called upon you to share His teachings through your words. "LOVE" it is key, Many Blessings & Smiles from Lena
