Hi Lace, good poem, fear can be paralyzing but we've got to take risks. Trying and being hurt is better then wondering forever "what if?" Trying and winning makes all the other hurts worthwhile as they magically fade away.

Peace, john

Great poem!
A piece of advice, we're hurt by love in order to allow us to better appreciate it when it comes along again. If you've found it in someone else, go for it.

Take care,
Lizzie
