Learning to love
The ‘hardest’ person
In your life
Will be The greatest achievement.
To love this ‘hardest’ person
Means to Accept
Their weakness
Their faults
Their idiosyncrasies.
To love this ‘hardest’ person
Means to Forgive
Their choices
Their mistakes
The pains that are carried.
To love this ‘hardest’ person means
To show kindness in their loneliness
Share laughter in their sadness
Support their efforts
Acknowledge their concerns.
So begin now
To Love, Accept and Forgive
This ‘hardest’ person,
As it is none less
Than You, yourself!
This task appears easy
In this ‘me’ world
But who is it that we love?
The true self or the made up self?
Past the screens and barriers
Lies a tender soul,
Strong and fruitful
Locked away with but one key.
True love is this key,
With the mighty power
To release from all suffering
To embolden with courage.
So unlock this ‘hardest’ person.
Allow the potential
To surface
So love can be felt
Inside and out.

Oh man! As I started to read I thought “yes, I can do this. I can get thru this”hardest person”. Until I realized that was ME. That is a much harder job. Thanks for the eye opener!

This was simply wonderful and powerful at the same time. A poetic message indeed. Loving me is loving others. I tried starting with others and failed.

Really nice. I loved the way it began that is was another person to be loved but all along it was me. Will pop in down the road. Life has taken me in a different direction.
