Rough ride

 

 

The path of love is rarely smooth

but love can obstacles surmount.

True love will find a way to soothe.

Objections which it can’t remove,

 pitfalls too numerous to count.

The path of love is rarely smooth

These words I say are simple truth.

An old adage which I recount.

 True love will find a way to soothe

 With the resilience of youth

if you should fall you will remount.

The path of love is rarely smooth.

 You know just what you have to prove

 and play your cards to good account.

True love will find a way to soothe

Though you have hurt feelings, forsooth

 a lesser or a great amount.

 True love will find a way to soothe 

the path of love is rarely smooth.

Oh how love is rarely smooth haha.
But once you find it, I guess you got it.

"True love will ever find a way to soothe"
great line.

One (two) has to find the rhythm then go with the flow, sometimes leading, oft times dancing freely.
Nicely done sir and truly said
