I stopped by the other day
I wondered where you'd been
I wasn't really THAT suprised
When you refused to let me in

Ever since you left home
Our relationship's been strained
But even though you no longer want it
My love for you remains...

You came by the house today
You were looking grim
You asked if you could talk to me
And I said "Come on in"...

You really shouldn't look surprised
For I told you long ago
No matter what you said or did
My love is unconditional...

Tammy, you captured unconditional love perfectly in this poem.

I truly enjoyed reading it, and relate a great deal. Thank you.

Warmly,

Thanks to all for the kind replies! I wrote it about a teenager that just left home, but I'm afraid I'm such a bleeding heart that it applies to ALL my friends,family,etc.. I'm proud to say it!!
Unconditional love
The only kind I know
It helps to make
The world grow...

The title of this poem is what caused me to read it. I wrote a poem with the same title, and also, to my findings, basically the same meaning and subject matter.

Tammy, I fully understand this kind of love..........
UNCONDITIONAL.......
isn't that the only way to truly  LOVE  someone?? To love and to be loved this way is something wonderful. I feel sorry for people who've never had this kind of love in all their relationships....with their lover, family, and friends.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and feelings.

Unconditional love hurts
I gave it to someone
she used me
and never gave it back

Unhappy days
great poem though

Take a good look at my face
Well, don't my smile look out of  place
look a little closer its easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

What a beautiful write! This is how love should always be no matter what. There is forgiveness within all of our hearts! Nobody ever said love never hurt. Our doors should remain open at all times for the ones we love most. Keep up the wonderful work! My blessings are with you and your family.

I don't understand unconditional love...
I suppose the part I don't understand is why give it to someone that doesn't value it when many would appreciate unconditional love...James

Opeth, K, and Connel~~~Thank you for your comments.

Ethel~~ABSOLUTELY!!

Walter~~I'm sorry to hear that, but it is better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all. (Sorry for the cliche, but I believe it IS true)

Cherished Angel~~Thank you so much. My blessings are with you and yours as well.

James~~I feel very sorry for you. You see the thing is, you have to give unconditional love to everyone wether deserving or not, because after all, whose to say who is deserving or not? Not I..

Sue~~I love sharing love. Thanks for the comment.

Peace,love,light, and happiness to ALL!!
Tammy
