Love is a gift

by Tracy D Rollings   Apr 18, 2007


Love is a gift, that was handed to us by God from the heavens above
that why it's call love, it was meant to be gentle and free as a dove
love is not meant to be used as a weapon, to hurt and destroy
it isn't a game that you play with people's feels, and break em like little toys

love is understanding, how other people feel about each other
it's called respect, treating your fellow man like a brother
trying to do the right thing, and get alone with best you can
giving all you got, hand in hand working hard to be the better man

love is honesty, telling someone you love em because you really care
giving all you got to make it work, and not ever showing any fear
is telling someone that you will be there till the end
and standing by your word, now that's a true friend

love is beautiful, like the flowers on a bright spring morning
like dew drop falling off a rose paddle without warning
like the river that flows, at an never ending pace
as steady as it goes and it never loses it place

so before you go throwing love around, treat it kind
give it a little study and might be amaze a what you find
love is a sweetness, you can only find in the heart
but it's a gift that was give to you, i told you that from the start.©2007 Tracydr42

    This is so true. It is definitely a gift to be treasured. This is a beautiful write about how love should be taken. Truly a write that can only be written by someone who has so much love to give and that is so thankful of the love in their life.
