Forgive me, my children, for an old woman’s view
What was right for me may be wrong for you.
Love that lifts and lasts
Has carried many through
But in fairness you should understand
The reverse is also true.
When you give your heart,
You also give its key
How that key is used will guide your destiny.
Whoever holds the key holds power over you.
So if you think “you’re in love”
Take a moment or two.
If you see the one you love treat others with disdain
Show them abuse, careless of their pain
Know that one day, when the flush of love is through
He/she may be just as cruel to you.
Hookups may be easier after all,
No stuff in the closet, not so far to fall.
Better than to struggle with a harpoon in your heart
Trying to get free, to make a brand new start.
Making new starts, of course, is what we have to do
Broken hearts will mend, and may be stronger too.
Still finding love may sometimes feel like swimming with the sharks
Danger fills that sweet caress stolen in the dark.
Do those eyes that hold yours
Mean you’ve found a love that’s true
Or simply that it’s meal time,
And on the menu now is you.
An old adage says “to your own heart be true”,
And that may be the best way
To find the love just right for you.
