I now reside within my soul, <br />And every soul, it seems - <br />How else to manifest this love <br />For every living thing? <br /> <br />Though often times rejected <br />And neglected - still it grows - <br />It weeps for every broken heart <br />And every tear that flows; <br /> <br />It forges deep connections <br />To each lover and each friend - <br />A bond that's rarely broken <br />Even though the feelings end; <br /> <br />Love is not an easy thing <br />And often it's one-sided - <br />And though it's pure and honest <br />There are times when it's misguided; <br /> <br />The object of affection's glow <br />May not return the shining - <br />Still the tapestry's been strung <br />And love knows no declining; <br /> <br />Although given, never wasted, <br />Once released it knows no end, <br />Love's a powerful emotion - <br />Curse or blessing? <br /> <br />It's a blend.<br /><br />Linda Ori<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/blessing-or-a-curse/
