Happy Valentine's Day! TEARS IN A BOTTLE COLLECTION
Caryl Ramsdale, American Poet
Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I show the salvation of God.  PSALM 50:23
GOD GROWN
To Monica Booker

You can't make someone love you—
It's impossible you know;
Chanting
'love-mes' and 'love-me-nots'
Won't capture the heart of a beau.
True love will last a lifetime
If it's right—rightful—and real;
You will know it...when you find it,
You will know...by the way you feel.
Comfortable and casual
Define it the best I think;
Like the shy guy that feels at ease
And surprises you with his  wink.
True love is a gift from God—
You'll see when it captivates you;
It's loyal—trustworthy—free and
Happens to a fortunate few.
You can't make it come to pass;
It has a mind of it's own.
If it's
true...God created it—
So I labeled
true love...God grown.
