Special Request

A very close friend of mine recently asked if I could post a poem of hers on my blog. How could I refuse? Everyone has a poet inside of them so if you like writing poems but feel that there's something stopping you, there isnt! Just lift that pen and feel the words, then just write them out. Okay, I won't digress..Here goes:

Why Do We Love?

When there's so much hurt and pain to the heart?
Why do we try so hard?
To get somethin when in the end it jus falls apart. 

Why do we doubt? 

Our loved ones at times. 

Why do we always question?

What we don't see with our eyes. 

Why do we allow ourselves to get lost?
When years down the road 

We laugh at the things we caused. 

Why do we love so much? 

Yet find it so hard to say. 

Why do we hurt each other? 

In so many ways. 


Now here comes a question 

So tell me 

What is love? 

Is there really such a thing? 

Or is it jus to give us hope? 

Somethin in life 

So that we can cope. 


They say love is blind 

And that's so true 

It's somethin that can't be explained 

And people can't tell you when's yr cue 

Some say it's a feelin 

Others maybe feel it's livin 

For me i'm still findin 

The true meanin to love in
