Learning To Love

Were you the apple of my eye
Would you even have to try
Die I would to be inside
Should I find that you had lied
I take my time to see the truth
As jealousy can just too uncouth
As gentle as you need to be
Is the only way to be set free
Its your apple take a bite
I think that you have every right
You do not hurt the ones you love
Not even fight or push and shove
The beholder can see the eye of beauty
To find real love is our true duty
Stole my heart like a stealthy fox
To hide away in a little wee box
I will not move from in my spot
And learn to love what I just got
Where would I be if set for free
I’d be right here as you can see
You cannot keep what is not yours
Until you do up all of your chores
I’ve loved so hard to chase away
The ones that I would want to stay
What I have learned that we all can
No more jealous feelings in this man
I learned to love and give out space
The joy of love is part the chase
You see that I am full of joy
I feel just like a little boy
Bye for now I’m going to see
What my life is bringing me
