Love Poems

Love Not Me


Love not me for comely grace,
For my pleasing eye or face,

Nor for any outward part:
No, nor for a constant heart!
For these may fail or turn to ill:
Should thou and I sever.

Keep, therefore, a true woman's eye,
And love me still, but know not why!
So hast thou the same reason still
To dote upon me ever.
John Wilbye

Joanna, sometimes the hhgiest calling of love is letting go of what we love most to give it freedom to open our hands as we would to a butterfly we'd ruin to clasp.A mother Robin knows this instinctively as she knocks fledglings out of a nest before they can really fly. I learn more about this every day It's a life long process.Robyn McMasters last blog post..
