My Defined Love

Love is so easy to say
yet so hard to define
There's love in a friendly way
a gesture that grows in time

There's love so strong
and so bold
for some it could do no wrong
for others a burden to hold

It can show you a good time
in the light of romance
it can upset a passionate crime
if given the chance

No matter how yours
can be defined
always remember the doors
which yeild loves threshold
in your mind

I see that the general post today consist of this, it does take difficulty and ease both depending how one reads ... that is why it is important to understand what it is to you, before understanding what it is to someone else ...

What is one's Happiness can also be another's burden.

They are hand in hand .... to have one only means the other is not far away ...
its all how you perceive it.

Thank you for your comments.

What is love but just a thought
feelings which someone has wrought
Confused, on a better day
Never knowing what to say..

Well, anyway I like this, very thoughtful.

And yet, on the other hand
elusive as it may seem
shifting through the timeless sand
is the way to find your dream

Thank you for commenting.

WOW!!! Leave it to you, Craig, to write the definition of love so very well. This is one that will fit most of us. I love it.  

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

Nicely done, Craig.  You've done a great job of illustrating how love can be both a blessing and a burden.  Just depends on the person.  Great work!  

All writing comes
by the grace of God.
