The limbo of love Crazy stuff That keeps one on neither side One step forward Takes ten steps back Moving from side to side To settle here Or settle there Could leave you in despair To take the bull by its horns Would be easier to repair The epitome of love It�s all good stuff No longer by and bye Take the ups with the downs In lengthening your stride Yes, indeed the diamond was rough Before it smoothed its light Endured so much heavy work Until it sparkled bright!

Yes, sometimes those diamonds can be 'ouchy'.

A diamond in the rough holds unseen beauty. It only begins to shine and show its beauty after hard work and struggle -expert polishing can transform an ordinary looking rock into a brilliant gem. Well done!

To often we find the trials to strong and tend to give up this one is a gem of inspiration and spiritual meaning to me. Thank you

Diamonds are ugly until enduring duress of polishing, they sparkle. So does love. Anyone who thinks love is easy, is in for failure. I like the way you brought this out. Victor
