Learning to Love





Try as we may, love
Try as we might, 
I know we will never
Get this whole love-thing right 
Still…
This cage of skin
With its fumbling and fight
Its mumbling and might
Its stumbling insight
Holds a voracious
Love-appetite
So, 
In love's give and take
We won't give up or in
But take each new day
As love's try, try again
