reach for all there is to get
then stretch for that last drop
they keep telling me of the limits
my illusion is beyond the stop
whatever I do I do with vigor
refuse to treat it like a test
why waste any of the effort
if you're not giving your best
the very thought of leaving
any part of joy on the table
reeks of mediocrity or worse
to imply that I am not able
don't ask me how I can love
and keep passion fires high
if you don't give your all
you already know the why
the same goes for pleasing
that special one of mine
always make a yeoman effort
being the best time after time
take not a thing forgranted
if feelings start falling to a rut
renew, redo what ever it takes
to revive the love in the hut
sharing is one of the greatest
excercises you can do
to keep a loved one close
have that love return to you
stretch, reach, be proactive
don't sit and wallow in pity
they could have chosen another
someone else for them in the city
I'm so proud she chose me
to be the one to love and cherish
and I will go beyond the limits
making sure love won't perish

As always, your words remind me of what it required to keep your love, everlasting. It is not enough to simply possess love; love must be fed, nourished, cared for...like a child, it must never know for want.

Really good poem...thanks for stopping by mine and leaving the kind comments..Sandi
I found your journal through a comment in another journal. I like your poetry, and I'll be back. I include some of my poetry in my journal as well (though it's all in older entries by now).

To stretch out beyond
most people would find
you can open those doors
that close the mind
To seek new worlds
of a loving sweet heart
and never giving up
that most passionate part
For your efforts are not wasted
nor ever dismissed
your attributes are many
too many here to list
So give it your all
and never fear the cost
your determination is admired
your loving heart is not lost.....
Hugs,
Chris
