Hello kiddies - I was talking to a friend the other day who was criticizing her brother for saying "I love you" to his girlfriend "too soon." I've been thinking a lot about that...when is it too soon to know that you feel love? Should a person who's been married forever tell a newlywed couple that they haven't known love because time has not validated it? I personally don't think so. I think love can be felt from the first instance. It grows, for sure, but it is still a true thing, even in those early days.
Anyway...here's the first love poem I've written in a while. There's something about the changing seasons that makes me all sentimental:)
Enjoy!
On Saying "I Love You" too Soon
BY Susan Baba
love is not this static, definite thing
it may start small and dim
it will be tested
it may splinter
and grow torrid or weak
and though it may take time to become what it must
it is still -
from the hearts first flutter,
to the last desperate utterance
it is still -
whether new or ancient
it is still -
a true and beautiful thing
