Love Is

Love is such a fickle thing ~
It can be soft as a feather
Or have a bee-like sting.
It can soar you to heights
Hang your heart on a star
Drop you down to your knees,
Mock your tears from afar.
Love is also a fragile thing
It needs special care -
Your constant understanding.
Your sleep might be disrupted
Your appetite seem strange
Often fever is detected
Emotions fight with change.
But if you can be patient
Allow life's dice to roll,
Love can be a blessed thing
For love can touch your soul ~

How true it is.... Too bad I'm familiar with the sleeplessness & appetite change!

Nice one Chris!  And here I thought it might be the flu I was feeling!
Really a lovely Valentine!
Nicely penned, and good to see you feeling so much better.

And in doing so, you touch my heart. ~
