here is what real love
here is what real love is
real love is taking action when not asked
taking up for those who fall short
speaking for those who can't
real love is
when my father cleans for my mother
or when my mother massages my father's shoulders
I see this real love in my family
without asking for it, things are done
and when I ask why my parents say, "because I love you"
here is what real love is
love is patient
love is kind
love does not envy and does not boast
love is never ending, never ceasing
love is full of possabilities
it is the happiness in the hope
its is the smiles in the joy
and the peace in the chaos
the rushing of the wind
andthe breath knocked out
love is the beating of the heart
the selfless acts
and teary eyed chats
the joy of a smile
and the knowing you'll be with them for a while
not because you have to but "beacause I love you"
