Romantic
Reminders            
Those
who trust in chance or fate
seldom find their proper mate.
Those
who settle for what comes by
miss
what doesn't and choice deny.
Those
who withhold signs of attraction
neglect
to discover another's reaction.
Those
who fail to make feelings known
can't
plan to reap what isn't sown.
Those
who rebuff friendly advances
may
thereby spurn potential romances.
Those
who deem that another's improper
might
first assess what they've to offer.
Those
who don't give, expecting to take
will
find it is they who others forsake.
And
those who resort to deception and games
lose
the open and honest and keep who remains.
Such
common mistakes easily discourage
so
if this applies, summon some courage.
To
risk and to grow is not without pain
but
errors ignored bring more of the same.
Prudently
seek your romantic link
and
do not fear what others think,
for
when you achieve what you desire
it's
your good judgement they'll admire.
