Jumping Hoops

To please we do all we can and more. To be forgiven we do all imaginable and unimaginable. To be loved we go in and out of our way. To prove our love we do the same. The sad part is that the effort may go unnoticed. No matter how much we try. Is it worth it to jump the hoops? When will it stop? When will we start doing things with no hoops to jump through first? But if this is what we have to do to stop jumping hoops, then we have no choice but to jump all the hoops there is. And hope all the effort doesn't go unnoticed a minute longer.
