The first time we met right from the start Like an ocean of joy you filled my heart Love only lasting but a season was fun When the sky was blue and there was sun That first beautiful season of our love But real is life with season's changing Somehow clouds always rearranging And a dying fire turns the skies to smoke And the summer of love, it starts to cloak Among the rose's thorns we scrape our hearts When feelings get hurt and vulnerability starts During storms when lovebirds stop a' singing Such sour winds of adversity are a' bringing That is when the power of intimacy fulfill The ever lasting growth for love to instill Expecting each other will always be there When comfort's needed have we any to spare? The greatest amount of love we can give Is when we both are hurt and must forgive

About this poem:
Like the seasons change so does love. It goes through many stages of new growth and decay and new growth again....You may be always kind but are you still generous?
Thanks Yankee4. WE should never take love for granted. Needs constant nuturing is true.
