Relationships of all kinds are like
Sand held in your hand.
Held loosely with an open hand,
The sand remains where it is
The minute you close your
Hand and squeeze tightly to
Hold on the sand trickles through
Your fingers you may hold onto
Some of it but most will be spilled
A relationship is like that held loosely
with respect and freedom for the other
Person it is likely to remain possessively
And the relationship slips away and is lost
