"Sometimes we learn the hard way"

Transcendental Sonnet #1448: Love is Free Love is free: which is to say It costs nothing less than everything Love is what we give away What we take away and what we bring Love is all we have today Like yesterday but today we know Sometimes we learn the hard way Something we otherwise might forget But we learn it even so Remember if only with regret The only cure for our suffering Love is free: which is to say It costs nothing less than everything But love is everything anyway +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMXI
