Duty and Desire
a duty is an obligation
lawfull in it's nature
a desire is an invitation
no lawfull will is required
a duty compells one to act
accordingly
while desire look's for
opportunity
a duty can be honorable
courageous and justified
and desire loving, kind
and modified
a husband can perform
duties for his wife
without the desire
of pleasing her life
a husband can give her
the things she needs
without consideration
of the food the soul feeds
a husband can promise
for the rest of his life
but it really does'nt matter
if it is'nt pleasing his wife
there is a duty to go home
and a desire to bring flowers
a duty to phone
and a desire to spend hours
a duty to love and love
are two different things
one could be desire
and the other just a ring
where one is earthly
the other a heavenly thing
with in giving and recieving
where would your soul be
