Learning to love well is a journey
– a long, delightful, painful journey
that I’ve just begun
but already I feel
the rough edges being abraded
by contact with other rough edges
where your weakness and strength
comes into contact
with my weakness and strength
and I am amazed how you are
changing me
and how I am
changing you.
for this, it seems, is the journey
of loving well:
that we change together
because of
and along with
one another.
so here’s to the journey
may we travel well
and may our love
be long
and beautiful
as we change
and grow
together.
