Some people say they love each other unconditionally
But what they say is..."I love you...as long as you love me"
True love that's unconditional will never have a pause
Its boundaries are limitless and there's no hidden clause.

There's love enough to go around for everyone on earth
The unconditionality its only proof of worth
Blessed be the soul who, once in life, can have love of that kind
It is the greatest love there is but -oh, so hard to find!

I love you unconditionally - if I'm with you or not
For all the love I'm capable of giving you have got.
There is no wrong that you can do - no sin you can commit
To stop my heart from loving you and that's the truth of it.

Perhaps you'll find another who will fit you like a glove
But there will always be a place in my heart filled with love.
For I love you for what you are....not what you are with me
So if you're happy, I am, too.......love unconditionally.

BRAVO!!!CLAPPING. This is so very true. I have loved and no matter what the outcome I love them still. This is so very perfect for true love once given is never taken back. *sigh* This poem of yours pleases this reader to no end. You have truly the gift for truth and such a talent for putting it into beautiful words. Thank you so very much for sharing it.

Love I leave with you my friend whether it be in your life or of yet the essense of your dreams. [URL=http://path2riches.com]http://path2riches.com

So? Now whatta bout that Bud light man?....Balladeer......Yanno, I'll be looking for that book soon.....you really need to have one published....you could name it something original like: My Poetry....or, Balladeer, Part Time Moderator, Part Time Poet.....Or, how to stick it to a Toerag and still find time to write. Or, "Makin' Time To Make Some Rhymes....Or, "How I Made A Million Bucks Killin' Roaches and Writin' Poetry"...or, "These Poems of Mine, Mostly Rhyme, When They Don't it Ain't a Crime, It don't matter none to me, Got your money, Hee-hee-hee."

Dear Janet Marie....you poor misled sweet dear, How can ya be so affectionate, to this silly old Balladeer? Have ya ever had the pleasure, of a Toerag round your feet?, Think of long pure ecstacy, and dreams so long and sweet. Balladeer's so silly, and ugly, fat and weird, you oughtta read my expert work, and forget that Balladeer. I could make ya famous, you'd forever love me dear, Then Balladeer could write again, bout love and pain and tears. (Ya see?...leave him, come to me, it would be a blessing to him and his writing?)

would one love one, right or wrong?
would one love one, without song?
would one love one, all along?
would one love one, treated wrong?

You would treat All right, Sir
of that, All can be sure...

and that, our most dear Balladeer
is tribute to one most sincere...

Never should the Forums be without thee...

Startime...I'm SO glad you could relate to this. Thank you for a very wonderful reply  

Toe...no book for a broken down bug catcher coming soon. Those are great titles, though!

JanetMArie...if they are engraved in your heart, they are in a very special place..  

Toe...I don't know if she ever had the pleasure of a Toerag around her feet but I know she stepped in dog doodoo once. Does that count?  

Sunshine...yes, I would give my all...to All. Thank you for coming by so late! No, I'll always be here

This is simply beautiful.  It's a testimony that love IS unconditional!  IT's the purest kind of love, and the poem is wonderful.  No glove could fit more perfectly than the words in this one!


What is that you express in your eyes? It seems to me more than all the words I have read in my life.

Smile Michael ... your wonderful heart is showing.    

I really loved this ... it could only be written by someone who knows the truth in what they want and deserve in return. Beautiful sentiments, and so delicately woven, much appreciated this lovely piece my friend.  

Best wishes,

You stole those last two verses from my heart. *S* Granted, you've prettied them up and given them sublime rhyme... but I still recognize them! LOL

Ball’,
This touches the inner soul. One day, over 30 years ago, when I said, “I love you”, and I really meant it, scared me to death.
