Lessons Learned

by Danielle McHenry - Aquarius

I have learned that in love,
There are no guarantees…
There are only risks…

I have learned that each person that has ever loved,
Anything or anyone is really brave..

I have learned that in the language of love,
There are no words to articulate
Only actions to speak…

I have learned that you need to have big shoulders
And a sturdy heart,
If you love someone who has been hurt….

I have learned that you have to love someone,
Completely so that you can endure the peaks and valleys
And misery of it all…

I have learned that to love someone, you have to completely
Expose yourself to extreme conditions of heaven and hell…

I have learned that in love, there are no and, if 
Or but, only am ,is and be.

I have learned, that everyone is a student of love….
No one knowing more than another….
All seeking the “One”, all finding no one….

I have learned that you can only love one way,
That is, utterly, completely and passionately…

I have learned that I still can love,
Despite the hurt, despite the fears…..
I have learned that I want to find love….

Reason for writing:

    Wrote this for a tortured soul...C.S.W. I wish there was some way I could take your pain.  But as we all must, we have to heal our own hearts.  Goodluck, my sweet...I am here as your friend.
