Love Poem: Still Searching

Still Searching

If you’re lucky enough to fall in love…to have love enter your life…
from your parents, your friends your relatives, your partner or your wife…

Once you have been blessed …and that seed of love is planted
you cherish every moment……you take not a thing for granted.

For over the years there is a truth…a lesson about love that you’ve learned:
how it feels wonderful it when you give it…and even more wonderful when it’s returned..

And you truly believe that this feeling will forever be extending
never giving a thought that your love story has an ending.

You get so involved in love
in its mystery, its excitement and it’s laughter
that you think the only way your fairy tale will end
is happily ever after.

But when someone you love stops loving you
when they say they’ve had enough
or when a loved one dies…or for whatever the reason
the road turns from smooth…to rough

you find yourself crying and moaning
and you hope 
and you wish 
and you pray…
because in your heart you know that fairy tales
aren’t supposed to end this way.

Then somehow with the help of your friends,
your siblings, your father and your mother
you discover the end of one fairy tale 
can be the beginning of another.

So you jump on your white horse
and with your injured soul
and your heart in need of mending
you turn to the next page of your Fairy Tale…
in search of your happy ending.
