Will we allow our love to be its best?
Don't take each other for granted — forgetting to say thank you or show appreciation for the little things erodes relationships over time.
Will we allow our love to be its best?
By Michelle Morris

I remember when
You used to bring me flowers
I remember when
We used to talk for hours
And I understand it
Relationships need to get comfortable
But sometimes we forget about
How over time we become vulnerable
Because we need to remember
That we're in this together
We need to show appreciation
We need to be the calm in stormy weather
Ultimately, we're a team
Ultimately, we are tested
Will we stick together?
Will we allow our love to be its best?
I don't expect flowers
But flowers would be nice
I do expect a partner
I'm more than just a wife
I appreciate that we're comfortable
But we need to remember each other
Show gratitude for the blessings
For our relationship and love
Because the missed please and thank yous
The missed appreciation and gratitude
It all erodes relationships
It creates a divide between me and you
Because we need to remember
That we're in this together
We need to show appreciation
We need to be the calm in stormy weather
Ultimately, we're a team
Ultimately, we are tested
Will we stick together?
Will we allow our love to be its best?
So, let's remember the little things
And let them grow in all the best ways
Our hearts entwined forever
Love and light and grace
