Love Has Everything To Do With It

A choice to not be selfish
Never demanding its own way

To effortlessly take the high road
Forgiving even what it cannot forget

Giving without a need for reciprocation
To not take notes or keep records of wrongs                                                 

It prefers to take the blame and walk away sad
than to be glad and honored while others hurt

Not having to be blind to love all kind, all the time
Being happy about the accomplishments of others

So powerful that it does not have to be loved to keep on loving
Appreciative for the foundations laid for its success and welfare

Non-controlling, never binding, nonlethal, toxicity free, eagle-soaring freedom
Super glue, the 'no-slip hands' that hold you, me, and EVERYTHING together
