RELATIONSHIPS <br /> <br />Fulfilment of desire can mar <br />Expectations of the harvest yield <br />When persuasions blooms <br />Tenderly nurtured <br />Wither in the day. <br /> <br />Few were those times <br />When that which promised joy <br />Exceeded selfish expectations <br />To earn a special place <br />Those gifts beyond favour <br />That which <br />Passions spent <br />Remained.<br /><br />Thomas Golding<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/relationships-24/
