Let Love Grow In You

I hope I don't ever let love
be an afterthought
Let me always grow in love
From the time we're born
we learn to love attention,
food, and interaction.
The constant immersion of ourselves
in these .... never goes away.
I need to stop thinking of life
in terms of doors closing,
but look for the doors that are opening.
If I focus on all the doors that were slam shut,
I can't see the new opportunities
that are presenting themselves
each and every day.



The metamorphosis of love is quick for some,
and slower for others.
Yet, it is always growing within us.
Within every one of us.
We are made to love each other.
I can only speak for me
when I say I want my love for people in my life
to be like granite.
Solid.
Unmovable.
Like the amber cinnamon tree

I experience beauty in just being alive,
and I know that all things change in their own time.
Idon’t need to force anything.
Even though
at times
love becomes replaced
and it disengages prematurely
Sometimes it even dies.
But..... it is still love.
I have had the best intentions about love.
when it had only a temporary affect on my life.
The roots of it grew in me,
even if tangibility of it fell by the wayside.
I was grateful for the experience
It was better to have felt it...

Love has, and is the most powerful feeling I have ever experienced.....
