Mama Always Said; There Would Be Frogs

Don’t Forget Your Chapstick

By Kelli Sheckler-AmsdenPublished 11 months ago 1 min read

Love makes you crazy

Love can drive you insane

Love is amazing

When it whispers your name

To grow, love needs changing

It cannot stay the same

Learn to adapt, beginning again

Forgive and Forget, forget placing blame

Enjoy the ride becoming who you must be

To win love’s game

    Yes, Kelli love needs changing - it never stays the same but changes with each phase of your life. Well Done!!

    True words Kelli, maybe we need to sit back and let love find us. Frogs give you warts!!!

    Short, sweet, and wise—just like Mama always said! Love’s a wild ride, but hey, gotta kiss a few frogs to find the magic.
