True Love
How many people on this planet may
be able to declare they’ve known true love?
I do not mean the kind that goes away
when things get bad because there’s plenty of
that kind of love! It’s often based on lust,
for give it time. . . the sparkle it would show
soon tarnishes and then it turns to rust.
Hollywood romances. At first they glow!
You see them in the headlines. Do not think
to envy them! So few of them survive.
Regard the couples who when on the brink
of chaos still stay strong! Learn how they thrive!
Through good times and through bad you will know bliss
if you can say you’ve tasted true love’s kiss.
