This is A Love Poem

One day you asked me to write you a poem
And it took me a while to find something to say.
I wanted to convey something, but I really wasn't sure what.
Remember this is a love poem.

When you need inspiration because you can't find yourself in the person and the life you have created for yourself.
Or when you feel your emotions are on trial and the world is the plaintiff.
Or even when you're tired of going through trials and tribulations
and asking God, "why me" and receiving the same answer, "why not".
Remember this is a love poem.

I wrote this for the times when you question mankind.
And you are left with the realization that everybody except you is out of his or her minds.
Or those situations where you may start to believe, "maybe it's not them, maybe it is me".
Especially when you feel God can’t hear your cries or when you feel trapped in a valley of lost souls
Those are the times that I want you to read this.
Remember this is a love poem.

Even though it may not speak of roses or violets.
And pays no mention to long summer days.
It makes s no comparison of your eyes to oceans or your beauty to a goddess.
While this may not be filled with flights of fancy.
Or promises of bliss and splendor.
Remember this is a love poem.

It is accepting and understanding.
It is not overbearing or hurtful.
But, it is altruistic and open to interpretation.
It can be taken at face value or as deep as you would like.
The words have been written for you and no one else.
They will not change or leave you.
They will be there as long as you want them.
Love is as love does and God is love.
So it is quite obvious there is no greater gift than love.
For God so loved the world that he gave.
As I have give this to you.
Remember this is a love poem.
