It

What haunts my dreams
Makes me smile and laugh
No matter what restraints add
To my cares and burdens,
It must be love given
Rather than love
Received.
Am I
Obsessed
Possessed,
It caressed my
Heart to both give
And get intimacy sharing
Life growing not just
Maintaining bit by
Bit each day
Adding to
The
Picture
Of my life
Which is part
Of other’s pictures
Making the world a better
Place for all of us and if
I slip up and make an
Inadvertent brush
Stroke then I can
Add water and
Make waves
Even if it
Rocks a
Few other boats.
If I have rocked your
Boat then I hope
You rode it out
As I have and
Are happy to
Have kept
At least
One
Oar in the water,
Round we go
Enjoy the
Ride
And help
Whom you can.
We are here to adore
And not to be adored,
The bottom line is
To give love and
Accept with
Grace any
Of it you
May
Receive.
