Love is not taxed


Pounds 

Ounces 

Kilograms 

Grams 

Everything is heavy

Little is light 

Sales tax

Income tax

Federal tax

Property tax 

Everything is dear

Little is free

 

Except love 

 

Love is light

Love is free

Love reaps no reward except your company 

There is no weight 

There is no surcharge 

When love begins to cost it loses its trait

We control our love 

Not just me 

Not just you 

There is no fear

There is no power

Love is fueled by our respect and mutual desire
