Love

Love had come into his life at times he did not need


And other times he fought for it and twice he watched it leave


What he's felt could overwhelm, destroy and drive insane


For what is life to be alone, abandon, full of shame






For whats a man who tries his all, his heart his mind his soul


To watch the things, he worked so hard, twice just up and go


The blood, the sweat the endless days, words cannot describe


The dedication that he had to loves receding tide






Common sense tells this man that love cannot be true


If shiny things and circumstance can change true loves pursuit


by that I mean that loves not gone just changed to some degree


His children’s where it can be found and in his family






This man he needs no comforting, support or caring shown


Knowledge keeps him walking down the beach of life alone


He saw the tide goes out sometimes, but knows it will return


With another chance to swim in love, to cherish grow and learn

He only hoped he'd find someone this time thats just for him


That had commitment, love and passion for the man he is


She'll say the vows and live them too for all eternity


If not she'd leave when things got tough, and she'd be number three






THE BOTTOM LINE: Better to love than lost than bla bla bla bla bla


He didn't give up, he never gave up success was not his flaw


For this defined as the ability to recover and go on


The countless times, face in the sand he'd fallen and got up






The man got old, loved to the end , and then he finally died


Tombstone reads "never conquered love, but dammit he sure tried"
