Treasures Forever
Sharing words of appreciation for all that is done,
Shows me I’m respected,
Being open and honest when we talk,
Lets me trust you more,
Reciprocating by doing something good,
Demonstrates love,
Not using critical or condemning words,
Shows self control,
Giving quality time shows you care,
And builds bridges of love,
Forgiving my failures from yesterday,
Lets me love and move on,
Asking questions with a genuine desire to understand,
Shows that you listened,
Forgiving me as a commitment you made,
Shows that you accept me as I am,
Exchanging kind words between us,
Draws us closer together,
Telling me you love me, reassuring me,
Shows your sensitivity,
Believing that relationships hold life’s deepest meaning,
Makes me value you more,
Making requests and not demands,
Allows me to respond gracefully,
Showing mercy when an offense is done,
Shows a mature heart,
Turning away wrath with a soft voice,
Promotes togetherness,
Cherishing intimacy in talk and action,
Brings a closeness we both want,
Making important decisions together,
Helps build respect,
Merging our lives as we become one,
Reminds us that our relationship,
Is not a project to be completed,
But a work in progress,
Treating our dreams as a gate to the future,
Helps us stay in love,
Understanding that each of us is human,
Keeps us from falling from a pedestal,
Looking for the good in each other,
Lets us find treasures forever.
beautiful message,
sharing love, forgive errors and mistakes,
move on with renewed sentiments and experiences…
these are all divine.
Thanks for sharing your talent with Poets Rally.

Wisdom learned from mistakes made.
Dan, you’ve nailed the recipe for a good life! Wisdom does come with experience, doesn’t it!

If I could only do what I say I would be wise. I usually stay silent so I look wise.
There is a very steady beat to the poem; good use of meter and tone to build on your theme. Caught your entry on Jingle’s Thursday Poets Rally and am always interested in finding/reading new poets with new poems to share. Will have to read through some more of your work & look forward to doing so.
crb.
You’re welcome 24/7. I try to post several times a week.
Love the message –nice flow. Thanks for sharing the wisdom!
Wisdom well metered and rhymed. Thank you!
Happy Rally days, Dan! 🙂
Jamie, I’m so enjoying your posts. Keep up your writing and encouragement.
The recipe to the perfect relationship, if only I could remember all the ingredients!
If only I practiced what I wrote about. Relationships are hard and wonderful all at the same time. Thanks for stopping by.
That’s a beautiful piece of writing summing up what we all hope and dream for! Wonderful.

We can all dream. Thanks for visiting.
Wonderful message!
Thank you for stopping by.
Absolute truth !! Finding good in all we meet and know is the biggest treasure 🙂
There is always good if we search for it.
Beautiful words and message. These are all good, smart pieces of advice. Intellectually, I know them to be true. It’s hard to DO them, though, especially when emotions get in the way. When I’m angry, wisdom just flies out the window. I think I’ll have to bookmark your poem or something and come back to it when a fight in my relationship is about to ensue. Seriously!
That would be awesome if the advice helps. Remember to use them softly and not as a hammer.
May the sun be on your face and the wind at your back as the Lord blesses you throughout the day. Carpe diem!
I shall pass this link around to the world!! AWESOME MESSAGE, LOVING IT! KUDOS! I AM VOTING YOU THIS WEEK! 🙂
You honor me greatly and I appreciate it. Just keep me linked to your posts so I can learn from you.
A great honor from a lovely woman. Thank you.
so true so true 🙂
loved every word.. what a beautiful flow?
Thank you for dropping by and commenting. Will be by to read your post later.
Great message!
Hopefully the message gets through to those who want to improve. I need to read it again myself.
Every line in this poem speaks a hundred words and a hundred life values… It’s tue wisdom!
I just love it!
I hope I’m getting wiser otherwise all my experiences would be wasted. Unfortnately, too wise, too late, for my wisdom to be used in my own life.
It’s never too late, dan! Hope you know that 🙂
I get so anxious even without watching the clock. Time marches on so relentlessly. I know it’s never too late. That’s why I’m still writing and forging ahead in new endeavors.
May the sun be on your face and the wind at your back as the Lord blesses you throughout the day. Carpe diem!
A very very positive, beautiful pening, determination helps not just us but all close around 🙂
If we rub some of our positive energy on others everyone will become more positive. Thank you for your kind words.
Thank you – your poem is a lovely and straightforward way to sum up a healthy relationship.

Sometimes simple is best for me. That way I am more likely to be successful. Thank you for dropping by.
Very powerful, reminded me of so many pointed things I learned studying psychology but so easily forgot.
Thank you
I have to write things down so I can remember but then I can’t remember where I put the reminders. Oh, yeah, what was I saying? Thank you for commenting and reminding me of psychology.
A very beautiful and a great message 🙂
Thank you for sharing…
I hope the poem’s message helps. You’re welcome to stop and read anytime.
Almost perfect words to make a perfect relationship…I like this so much, coz I have learned a thing a two about relationships though I know how, still you were able to season what I knew already…and I like how you did it…:-)
Great poem on relationships! Loved this so much!
Learning to love requires one to be in tune with the lover’s heart. If you have already learned this, then your partner is very lucky.
I almost cried! Nothing could ever describe better what Im living right now. I really enjoyed reading it, thanks a lot for sharing!
Sometimes we get treasures forever once we dig deep. Have a happy Thanksgiving! Bless someone with your smile and a kind word.
