" Comfort Zone "

Sometimes Checks are cashed before the deposit is made

Thinking everything is normal we relax lazily in the shade.

Taking things for granted we simply go coasting along

Instead of nurturing our feelings keeping them strong.

Complacency sets in, un-noticed, as time goes drifting bye

Then suddenly something happens and we are confused

and wonder why.

It's because love is an emotion not controlled by just one

When its growth is a stalemate then nothing can be done.

Inspiration goes lacking and feelings down deep within

Still act like nothings changed because of where we had been.

This creates a zone of comfort, we even can feel sustained

But remember when nothings ventured there definitely

is nothing gained.

The little things really matter, they keep a spark alive and fresh

They say "I love you" in ways that show you are the best.

So reflect back when love began and you both shared in its start

You must continue the journey together, both giving and doing your part.

Then the "Comfort Zone" is one of love not headed down

a dead-end street,

And kisses and hugs become candy given as a special loving treat.

Take the time to notice each other, share a daily chore

Keeping the things that make a home, a pleasure not a bore.

Doing the job that makes it work and means "forever" is very real

Because our love is special now as then and is a very big deal.

Showing our love is true, strong and growing and we never

want to feel alone.

Never relaxing no matter how many years go bye inside a

"comfort zone".
