The Miracles of Love
The miracles of love take many forms:
Like passion shared by lovers
Like apprehension shared by friends
Like concern shared by parents
We walk across this land
Strong with purpose
Yet we are ignorant
We all walk across the earth
As if its sole design was for our individual needs
Thus we feel alone
The miracles of love take many forms:
Like living with less so that others can live
Like leading by example instead of ruling by oppression
Like fighting for the rights of others despite disagreement
We walk across this land
Strong with purpose
Yet we are vulnerable
We all walk across the earth
As if our own ideals and values should apply to others
Thus we are blind to our own coercion
The miracles of love take many forms:
Like appreciation not tolerance
Like support not judgment
Like forgiveness not blindness
We walk across this land
Strong with purpose
Yet we neglect
We all walk across the earth
As if our purpose is the only justification
Thus we are susceptible to our flaws
The miracles of love take many forms:
Like the acknowledgment that we all need approval
Like the determination that we all need substance
Like the recognition that we all share in life
We walk across this land
Strong with purpose
Yet we are fragile
We all walk across the earth
As if we have not a care in the world
Thus we forget to care for one another
The miracles of love take many forms:
This is why we must share passion for each other
This is why we must appreciate each other
This is why we must be concerned for each other
Thus the miracle of love will be the peace we find with each other

The miracle of love does take many forms! Loved this poem, Delaina!
Hope you and Kris and well!
I wish all could read that poem. I wish that was a poem that all teenagers had to go over and study in their English class. Wish that it could be broken down, line by line to learn of its truth in the words. Beautiful sentiments and powerful words.
