I Remember Love
I remember love, it wasn't that long ago
when I was young and foolish
and felt my heart beating fast.
I am older now,wiser in my ways of life and the heart,
having learned its joy, hurt and pain
and survived.
I have loved a multitude, family, friends and lovers,
recognizing not to hate
or bear contempt for any other.
I have softened over the years, as fear and hate long faded
are now unknown to me
with only care and loved memories remaining.
I believe it to be a good thing, sad it took so long to learn
but at last I recognize
forgetting and forgiveness is always best.
I have learned holding all dear within my heart
and yes, life is too short and important
not to take a chance on it.
I remember love with no regret.
