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.
