To be loved : Love Poetry

We know love, too few know- how to love

Too many ask love, to serve them

They write, sing of love

Moaning, crying of love lost-

Whining because they threw it away

Or gave it away

Realizing when its too late

Or giving love to be loved

Crying tears in music of love, words of pain

Filled with acid rain, of love gone

Never realizing until its broken

Not knowing if you love

It’s never really lost, if you loved

I’ve loved, lost too many times

To find if it’s really love

It was never wasted

To love is to cherish love, then it’s never lost

When tears fell of acid rain, from love I’ve lost

It was because I tossed around love

That served at times, myself

Only when I learned to love, am I loved

To learn- love

Serving- the loved,

love doesn’t ask to be served

Sometimes those we love

Are better loved by someone else

When we learn to love unconditionally

Not in heat of passion, selfishness

Expecting love to serve our self

Then we find

We are loved for life

By all those whom we loved

Because we prove, we knew how to love

And are for it loved

Never forgotten

By

Those we touched by giving love

Teaching the loved, how to love

Our gift is we are loved

Never leave- love in bitterness- this isn’t love

If we love we are loved- by all we loved

Through life

Who never forget us-

Because we taught-

how to give and be- loved
