Where does love begin its way,
does it come at night or light of day?
Does it find us when we\u2019re standing still,
or cross our path against our will?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sometimes love is almost there,
a gentle touch, a moment shared.
And just when both our hearts believe,
it turns around and starts to leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You cannot hold it in your hand,
or make it stay at your command.
For love will wilt when held too tight,
but given room, it finds its light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So let your heart become its home,
but never cage its need to roam.
Let love be close, yet still be free,
and let it grow beside your dreams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let it guide you down the road,
but never make you bear its load.
For love should add to who you are,
not dim your light or hide your star.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And when it comes, then let it play,
let laughter steal your cares away.
Be foolish sometimes, dance awhile,
for love looks beautiful in a smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yet love will not be joy alone,
sometimes its hardest face is shown.
There will be tears and sleepless nights,
and days when wrong outweighs the right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But love is living, love must breathe,
it cannot blossom if we squeeze.
It moves like water through the land,
too wild for any human hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And if one day it flows away,
don’t dam the creek and make it stay.
For water travels where it must,
and loving sometimes means we trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Perhaps that love will circle round,
and someday find familiar ground.
Or maybe love will come anew,
with different eyes that look at you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For love may leave, but love’s not gone,
the river of the heart flows on.
And somewhere farther down the stream,
it finds another place to dream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So open wide your heart and see\u2014 By J Jones<\/p>\n\n\n\n
love only stays when it is free.
And though the one you loved may go,
love always finds a way to flow.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
