When yin and yang
wish each the best
with a calm big bang
they tune in with zest.
Walk arm in arm
or an arm held.
Free from harm,
they feel safe and weld.
No need to play an elf
game and lie.
It's okay to be self.
Be the best ally.
With love, they help and try.
Care with no cry, "WHY?"
Able to talk with ease.
True, sure of each and sees.
When they meet each need and are kind,
true love will glow, grow, and bind.

Now, how did I miss this one? Beautiful poem, Babs!
I'm glad I didn’t miss this!! Very touching!!
Love the yin and yang Babs!
Ying and yang of love. Now that is a novel approach to the challenge. Very interesting Babs.
I love this, Babs! You are the first I’ve seen mention yin and yang for this challenge. I think that is not only what attracts two people to one another, magnetically, but also what keeps them united. Each contributing something unique to the relationship, receiving from one another what they would not have on their own. 🖤🤍
True love will grow, glow and bind. Such a beautiful line! Loved your poem!
