Maturing Love
Love can be new.
Or, love can be old.
Will you stick like glue?
Would you be that bold?
If the love has aged,
it’s like a fine wine.
Good bouquet
developed over time.
But, first love must grow,
age, and mature.
It’s not how much you know.
It’s what you can assure.
When you can overlook faults.
or, other defects of character.
Then you can open the vaults.
Let that deeper love mature.
Each day that love will become richer.
It will fill all nooks and crannies.
No one will ever be a bitch here.
Your devotion & respect is dandy.
You have a partner to share all with.
Someone to be there for you.
Overall, this is a precious gift.
Connecting all, love being the glue.—–R. W. Johnson—–(2015)
