True Love
Just as the blush will always leave the rose
and leaves of fall will crumble on the ground,
the love that comes when you’re in the throes
of lust can’t last, for love must be profound!
True love is patient and forgiving too.
It’s wise and cheerful, and it’s built on trust.
There’s nothing that your true love would not do
to keep love strong; uprightness is a must.
Most people can’t conceive of love like this.
It takes hard work for such love to be sure.
The expectation of a life of bliss
is why a common love cannot endure.
The lucky few who live and know true love
are those who can expect great joy above.
