The Gift of Love

By Rod Schmidt/no date

You see, I longed with all my heart
for someone from on high
To erase my greed and fill my need
To bring my love to life

Oh how great it is to be loved
But greater still it is to love.
Yet I in all my selfish greed
Tend to despise love less than mine.

Then there you were, it was a start
So gentle as a dove
Our lonely lives together drew
Your love was so divine.

Never before, except from above,
Did one attempt to try,
You gave me love and much more too!
You took away my strife

Your love around in me
The truest of joy and even a smile.
I was beside myself with what to do
You caught me quite off guard!

In you I found security,
Without your love I could but die.
The more I got the more I gave,
I then made plans for life

The truth to my face was showed
Her love only lasted a little while.
My love, my life, who now will save?
No human heart will ever regard.

I trusted one, I trusted two
But it’s with caution that I go on
It’s just another lesson in life
But when will I ever learn
If only you would know how much I loved you,
And now again I enter the trial,
To learn to love with no return
