Rocky Road Poem by Carolyn Brunelle

Love can be a rocky road
Can lead you straight through hell,
Stomp your heart,
Crush your soul;
Why we need it
Is impossible to tell.
Except love can also resurrect
And create life anew,
Give you legs to stand
The wings to fly;
Fill your life with purpose too.

It’s both a blessing and a pain
That drives us to our knees
Praying,
“God help me find someone
That I can hold onto please.
I know your love is near me
In your eyes I find such grace,
But I still need human comfort;
Someone of my own
In this earthen place.”
