Some good advice. I definitely need to learn to listen more and talk less! I'm very prone to opening my mouth before engaging my brain! Best wishes, Ann.
I fell in love eight years ago, At one point, I decided to pursue her, but her mother rejected our relationship and never accepted my love for her daughter. After two years, we were no longer in contact. During that time, I was very sick; only a doctor and close friends helped me recover. One day, I received a call. When I answered, I heard her voice, very sad and emotional, saying, "Are you Ah..." She explained that she was upset about our previous relationship but had now accepted me. She also told me that her mother wanted to see me. Even then, I received attention from many girls and women, but I rejected their advances because my love for her was stronger than anything else. I feel I loved her more with each passing day. My advice to those who fall in love is to pursue their loved one as soon as possible, because many people in this world try to destroy and break hearts, but true love is worth fighting for.
A very descriptive poem of small things in nature, but tying into big ( important) themes.
I liked when you mentioned at the end, rising for your reward.
