I Was Taught

My mothers words to me she taught 
What you make out of love is what you've got
Take it for granted you should not 
What you give in  love is what you've got
Its not giving riches or a yaught
If you expect this love its not
For true love cannot be bought
Spark the flame and keep it hot 
And you will see true love is what you've got
