To Love

To love

is not small

in fact

it's giving your all

Dying to self

when another has need

that's how it is seen

through that very deed

Oh yes, it can hurt

at times mortal pain

and sometimes frustration

can drive you insane

Yet you continue to give

and you'd have it no other way

not just for the moment

but until your dying day

Yes, this is true love

it's not infatuation

yet it's so seldom found

outside of imagination

If you've got it you're lucky

one of the few

and the blessings you have

are as droplets of dew

The dew is so fresh

these droplets so many, so fine

are a picture of love

brought forth from a mine

A mine that's been emptied

producing a treasure to give

to one truly special

for as long as they live
