Trying Perfectly


Nothing in life is perfect

REAL Love is trying perfectly

Perfect love makes no room for fear

Fear of cheating, love fading, fear itself, or insecurites

We are people, loving is our purpose

Love is a bond

It lifts thoughts, actions, perspectives, longsuffering

Love stimulates and motivates

The old saying goes actions speak louder than words

The little things: the glances and the smirks and the jokes

The hard times that make us stronger

The doubts we share

The problems we resolve

Because I LOVE YOU I want you to be you

I want you to pursue your dreams

I will help you and trust you and ask you for help

REAL Love is gentle and kind, honest and inspiring

Never perfect

But Love is knowldge that together hard things are possible 

Sometimes worry clouds overhead

But with Love, the sun shines again

Because I LOVE YOU

In life there will be no dread
