How do you teach someone to love? <br />They sit before you: "I don't feel the way you do". <br />"Of course not" you say…"you have to learn to love… <br />You knew it as a child and lost it like a toy, broken. <br />It's in you hiding behind pain, spite, bitterness. <br />Move out from the shadows slowly <br />Placing one foot in the sand and then another. <br />Do not expect him to be perfect <br />And you'll reach the shore. <br />Place one foot in the water, then another. <br />Let it hold you like a wave, <br />Do not expect perfection <br />Letting the water embrace you slowly <br />Look up into his eyes and see he loves you."<br /><br />Robert Leary<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/love-lessons-2/
