To Love
It's so easy
To love the sweet
And the lovely
But gall you meet
Love heals the pain
And hurting parts
Yet seek in vain
For a keen start
It's so strange here
That in my pain
There is no cheer
Or soothing gain
We love sweet things
But flee from hurts
Yet cannot bring
A touch for dirt
Sad yet it's true
That love is short
When pain fills you
In anguish wrought.
Bear then the blows
Of life that comes
Both swift and slow
Dare pain that sums
