Love

Love is simple ...
A thing anyone can do, 
Love happens only 
When a heart is true

We already know 
How to love another, 
Because of a friend 
Or a father or a mother 

Trying much too much 
... Is not love's way,
Let it come naturally 
And love will stay 

Hold it in your heart 
Let things grow awhile, 
Keep love simple with 
A hug and a smile.
