True Love Ways

True love is Getting up early every morning in the freezing cold To go to work to provide For the kids and the love Who was sleeping by your side. True love is Is not only doing things we like But doing things we don't like too Because you want to please The person who married you. True love is Giving Having a sense of humour And together Making the most of living. True love is Putting up with your lovers faults While reflecting on your own Finding time for each other To show appreciation And spend sometime alone. True love is Looking after your love when they are ill And nursing them back to health Giving them lots of hugs to say I love you And everything's ok Providing a shoulder to cry on And a listening ear To hear what they say. True love is Is going through excruciating labour pain Watling for someone in the pouring rain Thinking about the other And not just yourself Making the most of what you got And realising it's wealth. True love is Showing appreciation not just for the big things But the little things too And noticing the difference they do. True love is Saying your sorry and letting sleeping dogs lie And keeping the love shine in your eyes Coming home with or flowers Giving them a surprise, True love is Seeing beauty in things others can not see And supporting each other to be all they can be Recognising and respecting your partner may need some space And time alone Or be with friends and talk on the telephone. True love is Being spontaneous inventive and a surprise And never mundane and boring To keep love happy and alive Why should courting ever end. True love Can be hard work and things don't always go to plan Realising no one is perfect And trying to understand Making your partner feel special Respected and feel cared for And the only one for ever more. True love is Your love is your best friend Laying the foundations to build upon and grow And still loving your partner warts and all when old Seeing past the wrinkles. True love is Creating cherished memories And storing them in the album of the heart And missing each other when apart. True love is Compatibility and a strong bond And wanting to learn how to please and get on Doing things together Together being strong and one. True love is Sacrifice doing things that aren't always nice Sharing the same dreams Lost together in paradise. True love is Being made for each other Honest true and pure And expressing your love behind the bedroom door. Peter Dome.Copyright.2015. June.
