It doesn't have to be like this....Poem

In my heart there was pain. I looked up and there was rain. A cloud of confusion hovered over me. At a time it was all I could see....and something deep within whispered...it doesn't have to be like this.

So began to I healed my heart and the dark disappeared. Light began to shine and it drove away my fears. Some clouds still l lurked so I learned to forgive. For those I allowed to hurt me and me for having not lived.

Life Risks

To laugh is to risk appearing the fool


To weep is to risk appearing sentimental


To reach out to others is to risk getting involved

To show your feelings is to risk exposing yourself


To place your ideas, your dreams before the crowd is to risk their loss


To love is to risk not being loved in return


To hope is to risk pain


To try is to risk failure


But risks must be taken,

It absolutely must be taken


because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.


The person who risks nothing,
does nothing and has nothing.

You may avoid suffering and sorrow,


but you simply cannot learn, feel, change, 

grow, live or love.


Chained by your certitudes, you will be a slave,


Only the person who risks is free

Poem

I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you.
I love you not only for what you have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me.
I love you for that part of me you bring out.
