Its one thing to be honest, even frank maybe. But utter and complete inconsideration for the feelings of loved ones is truly unacceptable. Why is it that we take advantage of those closest to us? The ones that fight for us, pray for us, care for us in every way. As I ramble on in anger and disgust, I remember times in which I treated loved ones quite poorly. Now I understand their hurt. The insult of it all is astounding. What did I do to deserve this? And now how should I react?
A terrible, terrible thing love is. Terrible and necessary.

In Love.
I fell in love today.
With the shadows of oak trees in the back yard,
With Fire Flies rising in the late afternoon,
With hawks soaring and chickens scratching,
With hymns around a fire,
With the southern breeze that blows in the storm.
Its chasing each other up and down hills.
Climbing trees, and dams, and our imagination.
Its planting corn in the garden,
Knowing it never grows.
Its a two-year-old in your lap
Singing "Frog Went-a-Courtin."
Its life,
Its love,
Its Family.
Thank you God for the memories,
That were, that are, and that are to come.
Amen.
