There is always a chance to polish the tarnished gold that sits full of soot from the flame that went cold. I do agree that there are too many failed marriages, and all because one or both drifted apart from each other with nothing in common.
This is written very well with a very important message. Thank you for sharing.
May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love and who love you, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your den sister, Barbie |

| marriage is a work in progress - it must always be attended to as a couple's first priority -- romance cannot and must not be left out of the equation -- peace and love Sheila -- JMW |

Yup! been there. in fact many in my family, parents, siblings, aunts and uncles, cousins have all bit the bullet at least once in marriage. Some even three times. And you're so correct about the nurturing. a relationship is like a garden. And we all know what happens when you don't kill the weeds and fertilize and water and till and hoe and talk to, and touch the plants. It really is all about continuing to be able to communicate with your other half, honestly, and with wisdom and love.
This is like a heart-cry. Enjoyed!
Blessings ... |

| I do think it is hard to recapture the newness and excitement we feel when at the beginning of a relationship, the romance and passion fade quickly and it is difficult to find again. But it is not impossible, for some, at least. A sad fact of life, but not all is lost. I like "to polish our tarnished gold" very much, Sheila. Well done! Hugs, Elizabeth |

Sheila this speaks volumes for so many. Sometimes an added spark is all that is needed to rekindle what was buried so long ago...
Be always safe,

Nice work Sheila...love and marriage are like stones needing to be polished and cleaned at times...we all have different characters and even so we need a good polishing once in a while...

Sheila,
There's great truth here, and yes, bring back romance, but how? Are we too far gone, have cynicism and selfishness won? I hate to think so but the evidence isn't looking good. Thank you for this wonderful piece.

Very beautifully put into the words of the heart and sadly sometimes new love does finish off what was left of an old love that burned slowly out.

Maybe we do need romance -
To ignite the flame gone cold.
I believe there’s still a chance
To polish our tarnished gold
I appreciate your point of view, Sheila. Thank you. Love and blessings,

| From passion grows romance, and from romance grows companionship, and from companionship---well those last two lines of your poem really states it plainly. Good write, Shelia. |
