TRUE Love

True love endures the hardships,
Accepts the pain with the joy
Reaches beyond the world's boundaries
And endures unto the end of time.
Love is not always happy, nor peaceful.
Yet, true love sees past the mistakes;
Listens to the heart - not the harsh words.
Love is a common phrase to say "I care."
But TRUE love comes from deep within.
It makes you smile with happiness
Yearn to share your inner self,
Embrace the love another offers.
And warms your soul.
These are the experiences
From which true love gains it's strength.
To be loved completely and sincerely,
One must offer their total love to another.
Love is never free of trials,
But equally shared and faithful love
Is strong enough to get beyond
All of the many obstacles love must survive.
In the end, all we have is true love.
When it is found, grasp on and NEVER let go!
For only one who truly loves you
Will stand beside you through it all.
