An old timer once told me,

love her wrong, love her right

it don’t matter as long as it’s love

Cause love has no right or wrong

love is love, nothing else need be involved

it doesn’t need flowers or walks on the beach

those things help but won’t add to its mystic

love is quiet and will not boast

love is realizing when you’re too loud

quietly apologize and say it more gently 

love is comprised by our failures

it gives us a chance to succeed by

saying I’m sorry  

It’s not quick to anger

doesn’t deal in ultimatums even though we do

Love reveals our vulnerabilities

Its learning to argue without losing your mind

love takes maturity, plus the mindset of a child

Love is forgiveness, sacrificing one’s self

for the welfare of others

Sometimes love is not sacrificing anything at all

Sometimes love is taking care of self

so that you may receive the love

that others are trying  to  give

Love turns to hope when there’s

nothing left to give. It returns as faith

with the promises of tomorrow

Love sets people free without condemnation

Love is here and now & now and then

Love takes time. We often end it before 

we ever gave it a chance to begin.

Its attractive at first then loses its luster

it takes work to shine

 like grandma’s tarnished silver

Love is confusing when we use our feelings

Love is the life energy that flows between people

It shines in a smile and grows in a tear

Love is a shoulder where troubled souls call home

The wrongs in life is what makes love right

but in order to see it, you must first believe it

love is the foundation from which

all commandments begin 

Love holds on when your grip slips away

love is reaching into the past without

settling old scores. Love done correctly

has  a  lopsided  score
