IS LOVE LETTING GO ?

When I give you the freedom to be yourself
Listening to your feelings
Being quiet with thee,
Do I give you the freedom to forget me?


When I feel the pain of being forgotten,
Do I rage within?
Cry with out?
Do I remember what love is all about?


Dear God, help me to recall
That right and wrong is not all.
That wanting love is losing love.


I fall asleep
For the pain of letting go
Is in it self
Too hard to keep.


I then awake
This is great!

Love is ME!

Poem by Jan Spiller, 1988
