Tough Love

Tough love stands firm, though winds may sway, It holds the line when hearts might stray. Not always soft, not always kind, Yet in its strength, true care you'll find. Through bitter words and battles fought, It teaches lessons life forgot. Not to wound, but to make you grow, Through fire and trials, its roots will show. It’s love that dares to say what’s true, Even when it’s hard to do. For in the end, its aim is clear— To make you strong, to hold you near. Though rough at times, and hard to see, Tough love is love that sets you free. In every storm, it stands its ground, In tough love’s arms, true strength is found.
