Love

By Susan Polis Schutz

Poem used with permission of Blue Mountain Arts

Love is
the strongest feeling known
an all-encompassing passion
an extreme strength
and overwhelming excitement

Love is
trying not to hurt the other person
trying not to change the other person
trying not to dominate the other person
trying not to deceive the other person

Love is
understanding each other
listening to each other
supporting each other
having fun with each other...

Love is
not an excuse to stop growing
not an excuse to stop making yourself better
not an excuse to lesson one's goals
not an excuse to take the
other person for granted

Love is
being completely honest with each other
finding dreams to share
working towards common goals
sharing responsibilities equally

Everyone in the world wants to love
Love is not a feeling
to be taken lightly
Love is a feeling to be cherished
nurtured and cared for
Love is
the reason for life
