Unconditional Is the Nature of Love
Love means unconditionally to me
It never means conditionality
Never down your neighbor’s leg should you pee
Never use its rain as excuse, you see
.........
Contentious relationships will decay
Don’t just love your neighbor, love him today
Keep heart and home open consistently
To benefit most from love’s harmony
.........
Though one’s own Agape may be sloppy
No cause to pee on another’s copy
Just stay with self alone if love seems gone
Unconditionally await love’s dawn
.........
Love never dies, or a child counts the cost
When love is gone, it’s your child who is lost
Unconditionally, expeditiously
Agape returns conspicuously
.........
Prerequisites stifle heartfelt offers
Leaving you lonely with empty coffers
To know true love is our Lord’s greatest gift
Refuse to let squabbles cast hearts adrift
For Lay's What Love Means collaboration challenge
