THE WONDER OF LOVE
I wonder a lot about love…in all her forms and shapes and sizes…
how something so universal can be filled with so many mysteries and surprises.
How can something that feels so beautiful be as invisible as the wind?
How is it that only when she brushes up against our heart
do we know where she has been?
I wonder how many kinds of love are out there.
I wonder how love came to be.
Is there a limit to her varieties or are they like waves on an endless sea?
Is there a kind of love that lasts forever
a love so strong we can see it in ones eyes?
Are there some loves built to weather any storm?
Some loves that never die?
I wonder is love floating around always waiting for the right two people to come along?
Does love ever make a mistake…is it possible for love to get it wrong?
Is there some love that has an expiration date as it sits upon a shelf within our heart?
A love that’s fades away as two people drift apart?
As confusing as love can be…it seems to get simpler the older I grow
and I accept the fact when it comes to love…there is so much I don’t know.
For I have learned love is fragile…that she must to be nurtured every day
If not, then like a rainbow stretching across a clear blue sky,
she will slowly fade away.
And I’ve learned love is like a precious stone…
that it’s impossible to own her…
and whether we hold onto her forever…
or only for a moment
how lucky we are to have known her.
