Learning To Love

To the outside world her life appears great. She is smart and pretty but inside her heart aches. Her friends are close, her family is supportive, but lurking within, she wonders what gives. Her dream as a girl was to join with another soul, yet at this moment in time, she is sadly alone. She longingly watches other couples in love, and wonders aloudly, to the heavens above. She knows she was not put on this earth to be alone, she has much to give, like a nugget of gold. It is an intangible quality she desires and seeks, this is a time of lessons, to listen, and not speak. She smiles with hope as she begins to see, her answer is becoming clear; Learning to love, the girl inside of me.

A lovely poem with a meaningful ending, Lynn. I am sure that we were born with the aim of sharing our life with others, not necessarily in marriage/partnership, for each person is allotted a path to follow, and we have to learn to find love in our calling. #7 Regards // paul

This is beautifully written and quite profound. It's a lesson that every young person would do well to learn.
