Rededication

Give yourself to love
if love is what you're after.

Easier said than done.
I give in, give myself
to relaxation, obligation,
worry, anger,compulsion,
enjoyment, despair, hope.

Each time, I try again
to give myself to love
because love is what I'm after.

  8. This one hits home for me, Victoria. Giving ourselves over to love is a hard thing but the payoffs are huge.
