My Work

Communication is the key,
Although important,
It is not enough just for one to talk,
And one to listen,
You must truly hear and understand what the other means.

Understanding comes from taking the time,
To learn everything about each other,
What makes each other happy, what makes each other sad,
What gets on the other’s nerves, and makes them mad,
This is when you finally can forgive anything and be proud to say ‘your mine’.

Forgiveness is needed on many levels and in many ways,
Once you find the history to that has been lived,
You can begin to forgive in advance,
For that thing that has not yet happened,
And it will give the patience you will need to make it to the next day.

Patience is a factor that can lift your love high,
This is something to be included in all aspects of your lives,
And not just in some,
Find the way to be patient with any challenge that love will bring your way,
No matter how big or how small,
This is when you finally get to compromise,

Compromise is not necessarily a trade,
It is the willing to acknowledge the things you need to change,
Not just because the other feels that you should,
But also because you see their point of view,
This won’t work unless you keep the new promises you’ve made.

Equals is the only way to treat each other,
This will be your lock,
No one can be placed above or below,
When it comes to love,
This is the only way,
As individuals you can both stand tall.

Except each other for who you already are,
Don’t dwell on what you can not change,
And learn to work around those things,
Always remember why you fell in love in the first place,
To change too much will take that away,
For the things that make you different will keep things interesting,
As long as, more than any one else, you listen to your heart.

All these things and so much more,
Will help to work things out,
Realize that no ones perfect will erase some doubt,
Remember and practice all these things,
This is how you’ll get to keep,
The sweet emotion that was created,
And love will get to soar.
