Knowing Love Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Never fear love or keep it from you because you are afraid of taking risks.
Knowing true love and the acceptance it gives you of yourself causes peace and joy to fill your heart.
Never stand away from love - go to it and embrace it - hold it close to your heart.
For there are few enough times in your life when you can experience it.
Don't drown in self-pity and doubt - know that you are truly loved -
just by reaching out yourself - to another.
