Quality Love

To love is to learn To discover choice, Patience to discern Focus and sure poise. To love can be hard In unpleasant seas, When harshness retards To upset fully. To love can deplete Sense of inner peace, For times less concrete Can break precious ease. To love can be tough In wild agony, When going gets rough In sure anxiety. To love demands more Than you bargain now, For problems galore Undo the fine vows. To love is to know That you dare to live, In bad times that show Despite all you give. To love is to dare To live fond affair, To live life most bare In good and bad air. To love is to be A man who stands tall, Who can truly see Pain and misery. To love is to gain A love that fits all, To live not in vain, To rise when you fall. To love is to tend To pain and sorrow, To be a true friend To weak and hollow.
