Can anyone, anywhere ever repair
These dilatory habits of tearing?
Who deserves to be forever unheard
By blinding unattention to words?
By listening to love's affectionate claims
Followed by actions showing the same
Is the normally accepted, and ungiven
Often, but necessary lasting frame
On which caring love prepares her scriven,
Beautifully woven, delicately rare,
Lovely embroidery. Therefore beware!
Piece-meal attention will never undo
Any neglect. It seams up frustration,
Pulls away threads of well-hemmed, usable
Cloth of strongly sewn love. Deliberate aims
At tending to needful machining, with care
Will patch up, and avoid the above.
True love gives passionate attention to love.
Glad you think this is so very true Rachael - - and thank you for your comments. - - Fay.
Good write Fay, I think we have to work at relationships or neglect can lead to an 'unravelling of love' as you say, 10 Lynda xx
