    Compromise

    What would you compromise for love?
    Yourself, your beliefs, your heart..
    Would it be so bad?
    Would you be any less smart?

    Could you give away your trust
    Or hand over your soul?
    Could you lose yourself in love,
    Or must you have control?

    Think of what matters most to you
    And how it would make you feel.
    To have the best that's offered up,
    And compromise if it's real.

    The word, in a sense, if broken down,
    Has a "promise" within it's word.
    And if you are willing for change,
    Love whispered-will always be heard.

    You can't meet in the middle,
    In fact, you go all the way.
    You head down the path as two,
    And end up as one someday.

    It's a path with many twists and turns,
    But very much worth the journey.
    You must walk with slow, easy steps..
    Compromise-no need to hurry!

    I am going for 50 years with my spouse. Our love started when we were young, and this reminded me of some of our twists and turns over the years.

    thank you for the comment. I am pleased that you got something from this one. It is my least favorite. But I put everything on here. The good and not so good. Congradulation on staying strong and commited for so long in your marriage. It is a true accomplishment these days. I hope to have that too some day.

    Poetry is what gets lost in translation.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
