Learning How To Love Poem

Relationships seem so complicated yet they are so simple. It's about respecting and cherishing your partner as a feeling being. I have confused manipulation and control, and allowed myself to be disrespected all in the name of love. But learning that I needed to love and respect myself opened me to a love that allows me to love without boundaries and to trust my partner because I now trust myself. For this I am grateful and cherish my partner.

Your Love In The Palm Of My Hand

Published by Family Friend Poems June 2013 with permission of the Author.

I hold our love in the palm of my hand as one would a newborn,
with awe and delicacy,
with softness and protection,
with the promise to nurture

I hold our love in the palm of my hand as one would a stone found on a sunny ocean shore,
with respect for its strength,
with wonder for its resiliency,
with deference for its journey to the shore

I hold our love in the palm of my hand as one would a diamond,
with humility of its beauty,
with amazement at its density,
with humbleness of its potential to withstand harshness

I hold our love in the palm of my hand as I would my own,
accepting its fragility, acknowledging its power,
respecting its potency and most of all,
understanding its need to be cherished

I recognize that the love I feel for you is a gift to be appreciated,
and in so doing,
it may have the chance to grow and flourish
