TRUE LOVE!

True love is synonymous

With Prince Charming’s kiss

Alas, this conception is piteous

Real love is far more powerful than this

A mother’s warm, comforting embrace

A father’s protective instincts functioning ceaselessly

Trying to shield their child from the bitter taste

Of the world’s harsh cruelties flung mercilessly

This is true love.

When a child rushes into his parents' open arms

Completely trusting that their unconditional love

Will keep him safe and sound

Away from all harm

This is true love.

Love gives our hearts meaning

Pounding hard and fast

Not just to keep us living

To make sure we've had a good laugh

Before we breath our last.

If I ruled the entire universe

Coughing up piles and piles of money

And left without a mortal to ride my hearse

Whose heart was full of pain and agony

An impotent existence, a mere waste of time.

True love is worth more than

Ostensibly powerful silver dimes.
