Most are like
Hand puppets or
Toy trucks or
Dolls they’re nothing
Really without you
You give them
Voice and dreams
And life you
Give them sounds
And quests and
Adventure the whole
Fairytale ending and
Happily ever after
Children play with
Toys and dreams
Adults play with
Adults same dreams
Different voices all-together
Remember don’t find
Someone attractive in
The hopes of
Loving them love 
Them and you
Will always find
Them irresistibly attractive
And so you
Said goodbye but
Was it or
Just a new
Hello to something
New
The old had
Already turned the
Colors of Autumn
Chilled by the
Cold winds of
Winter and now
This new Spring
Brings something that
We were before
Friends
Here are the
Rocks of a
Solid foundation for
Relationships
Affection respect truthfulness
Compassion empathy charm
Wit intimacy sex
The mortar is
The work invested
The water is
Sweat build on
Strong footings dont
Build on the
Shifting sands of
Attraction it is
Prone to dissolve
We think that
We feel a
Certain way when
In reality it’s
Just a thought
When you’re blue
Listen to the
Laughter of children
The bark of
A dog smell
A flower and
Hug a tree
These are the
Things of happiness
Not your mind
