The Strength of Love

By Blacksburg

I was always told love made you stronger

                                Because it does

How many plights have been so far alleviated:

all a result of the compassion of humanity?

We need each other, we’re all we’ve got.

Shaken

Gutted

Reborn

Love is strength in all its forms.

A steady hand through times of grief,

or a sunshine warmth held close.

Whether everlasting, or beautifully brief.

A special handshake, a glance, a snowflake

The shortest moment is enough

Sometimes I can’t remember it

but then again

I can’t always remember how big the mountain looms

Truth threads and treads

in me

Love transforms strength to sacrifice,

servitude, innovation, and more love

like trees that turn into a grove

Love, like a tightly woven blanket, is worn across the laps of many,

but held tightly by a special few:

Good friends, family, soulmates…
