The Act of Love
An original poem by Valerie LK Martin originally posted 2/14/18
Love can be joyous
Love can be grand
Your heart craves it
So, take someone’s hand
Love can sizzle
Love can be blind
Your heart can be full
Or you can lose your mind
Love can heal
Love can be a ride
You can show mercy
Or you can hide
Love can be fickle
Love can be warm
You can give up
Or you can weather the storm
Love can last
Love can be lost
You can choose to fight
Or you can choose to toss
Love that is real is
Love that takes sweat
What you put in
Is what you get
