When love comes to love
and push comes to shove
what’s done is done
with just baggage to jettison

Put all the pain in one place
with no way to trace
a way back to it again
Let it go and let it end

Damage is as damage does
eroding at wanting loves
Together forever
remains the endeavor

To have and to hold
feels empty and cold
when hearts are in the trenches
craving love me clinches

Unconditional surrender
of their wounded tender
to each other’s
rekindles the hearts of the lovers
LGR©9/26/12

Now you're talkin'!!

(Your write mixed perfectly
with my glass of chocolate milk
and slice of Italian cream cake,
yummy).

Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself.
Maranatha!
