To Love and Hurt in Today



Sometimes life seems to get the best of us,
It whittles away at our heart and souls.
Breaking us down at each and every turn,
We are left sometimes in a pool of tears.

Our time seems to be so short and full of pain,
That sometimes we may not wish to continue.
Hearts laden with sorrow and anguish,
We are left to wonder how to start anew.

No matter how troubled your life may seem,
There is always a glimmer of hope.
Close your eyes and take a deep breath,
Embrace those that are around you.

Love can shield us from the hurt,
But sometimes love can hurt us in turn.
Just remember that love is what binds us,
And that the pain is what makes us real.

Together we can travel the roads that lay ahead,
A journey that neither of us may expect.
Remember that we are together in this,
And together we can face anything.
