Be Careful With Love Poem by Gregory Huyette

Ego will sail you to the highest height
Or crash you down to a horrible plight.
Like fire, its power to warm
Can destroy all in a firestorm.

Pains will be forgotten tomorrow,
But lost love will always be sorrow.
Love’s tenderness sooths so many tears;
Though in a sea of ego, it disappears.
As time melts away, ego’s ugliness can win;
Destroying glory of what might have been.

So forgive lovers’ faults as you do your own.
Don’t forget their presence is strictly on loan.
Treasure these beloved for they are few.
Respect their feelings as if they were you.
