Love is in the air today but I’m not feeling it. Maybe it has something to do with recent events but we all feel less loving on some days although I could never ever have less affection for my pets. I think that generally most of us try to be nice, good and kind to others we work with but it really sucks when we get nothing in return and if you think I am being cynical on this day of love, I am.
So here’s my poem for today, drafted in 20 minutes after midnight on V-Day 2014.
When you start with a good intention
It doesn’t necessarily have a good conclusion
Something that used to give me cause for celebration
Recently lost my attention
They say things happen for a reason
Maybe there will never be any appreciation
But if I have learned a lesson
It’s that love is not in every season
So if you have every intention of being obliging
Don’t expect anyone to be reciprocating
In that way you learn not to expect something
In return for anything
It’ll be less damaging
To a relationship that was just starting
A friendship that had the potential to be developing
Into one that was quite promising
It’s time to count my blessings instead of my loss
Look at the grass and not the moss
Hoping that things will not turn out to be gross
Every time that our paths cross
Never mind all this dross
Simply don’t give a toss
Nor take a moment to pause
To care any more about people who sit on their high horse

I love this poem very much! There is even rhythm! Yeah, it also voice my feelings too. When people just don’t appreciate our work, hurt us and said we don’t do enough.
If all affection is lost,
If all tenacity and resolve is gone,
But never let your adversaries triumph,
And never ever let your spirit waver!
Love yourself…..
