Quality Love
To love is to learn
To discover choice,
Patience to discern
Focus and sure poise.
To love can be hard
In unpleasant seas,
When harshness retards
To upset fully.
To love can deplete
Sense of inner peace,
For times less concrete
Can break precious ease.
To love can be tough
In wild agony,
When going gets rough
In sure anxiety.
To love demands more
Than you bargain now,
For problems galore
Undo the fine vows.
To love is to know
That you dare to live,
In bad times that show
Despite all you give.
To love is to dare
To live fond affair,
To live life most bare
In good and bad air.
To love is to be
A man who stands tall,
Who can truly see
Pain and misery.
To love is to gain
A love that fits all,
To live not in vain,
To rise when you fall.
To love is to tend
To pain and sorrow,
To be a true friend
To weak and hollow.
