No cost in terms of money

To love and be loved

Holds value beyond measure

But what do we mean by love?

Passion

Pleasure, satisfaction, contentment

Devotion, sacrifice

Taking the risk?

And where do we find true love?

Our mother and father

Our brother and sister

Our husband or wife

Our friend, Our lover

And how do we know it is for real?

True love makes no demands

Its strength is beyond question

Everlasting and rock solid

When put to the test

And how do we know if it is not for real?

True love does not cheat or lie

No tricks or mind games

or excuse for escape

or selfish self-satisfaction

When you find your soul mate

Feel you can trust and be trusted

When you hold your own child

And know that you love and are loved

Then you will be rich beyond rubies.
