A NEW START

Love all around us seems to bloom 
While our love could be considered doomed 

At one time our love flourished 
Like a garden well groomed
But slowly small insects 
Began to nibble at it's roots 

The insect of mistrust 
Crept in unawares 
Arguing with each other for simple things 

Speaking harshly in the faces of friends 
No wonder our love is on skid row 
Racing to its end

The insect of accusation runs free
Our uniqueness and individuality 
Is challenged daily 

Voices from afar has caught our ear
And slowly the voice of reason 
Begins to disappear 

Let's start all over as at first 
When our hearts of love for each other 
Hungered and thirst

Today is the day to cultivate our minds
And our garden of love will destroy all insects 
In a moment of time.
