Love Feels Like Magic, But It Takes Work to Last

I was beguiled by his smile.

What a miraculous find.

Strolling along life’s promenade,

Thankfully, I am his, and he is mine.

But real love isn’t magic!

You have to work every day

To keep the joy and peace alive

By the things you do and don’t say.

Offer a cup of gentleness,

Give much love, double or cubed.

Don’t just curry favor for your good.

Be real, until their heart is moved.

Some believe love will magically last.

So, they leave everything to chance.

But some things have to be nourished,

And that is especially true of romance.
