~Not Easy~

It’s easy to have credit when you’re wealthy
Easy to live well when you have money
Easy to rule when you hold the reigns
Or to be clever if you have the brains
Very easy to love when all is going well
But not easy when you find yourself in hell
It’s hard to feel love when you’re on the floor
Hard to be happy when you feel so sore

It’s easy to teach when you’re in a school
Or obey guidelines when you know the rule
Easy to do right when the way is clear
Or to hold someone when they’re really near
There’s no effort in being close and true
Not when the one you love also loves you
But it’s not easy when the air turns chill
Not at all simple when you’ve lost your will

It’s easy to speak when you have a voice
Easy to choose when you have a choice
Simple to do what you think is right
Easy to see the good guy wearing white
But it’s not easy to tear your heart in two
Not simple to lose a love that’s true
It’s not very easy to walk away from this
Nor easy to fade the memories of your kiss

It’s easy to love when you feel it inside
Easy to give the love you can’t hide
But it’s not easy to shut your heart’s door
Not easy to accept its not there anymore
Not simple to feel your life break apart
Nor easy to lose the love in your heart
It’s not easy to feel the ice freezing you
Not easy to stop myself always loving you

No it's not, least we lose our grip, and all is lost!!  Marsha, your writing is a comfort to me.

from pouring down
can't stop the

can't stop me from
loving you
