“Every One’s To Love”

Every one’s to love,

Does that mean with kisses and hugs,

I would think not

For your love for me I do need

And the love I have for you

I would say the same thing,

Yet the one’s that don’t get love

Are they to be loved?

I would agree

For you see

I’ve been one of these

Was it by my choosing?

I would say in some kind of way

But destiny does have its hand

If I said it didn’t

I’d be lying

And threw my trek

I have found

There are those

Who love those who aren’t

Truthfully and helpfully

They get nothing in return

Except the knowledge that that meal brings warmth to their bones

And the new coat will keep them clothed

The place they will lay their head

Is now in a safe bed

For you never know who you may be loving

It’s absolutely almost overwhelming

To be blessed by the homeless

And tear’s come from their eye’s

As they say their blessings

For your life

It’s too much I say

One blessing is enough

But they continue on

The blocks upon the back are heavy

The things that are seen

Have broken the levy

To love the unloved

To home the homeless

To give with out return

How it makes the heart burn

Every one’s to be loved

See to it

Be at it

Live with it

Be it

As you crave

So does all

That’s all…
