Poems about love. The unconditional kind. Maybe the hardest of all to truly believe in. Don't we all have some conditions? Whether we make them known to one another or not. Shouldn't we have some conditions? Do we stop loving if those conditions are not met. Or is it something else? Another emotion? Is love just suspended? Is there an answer, or is it up to us to decide on our own?
These authors have their own ideas. I don't know if I know what mine are yet.
UNCONDITIONAL LOVE
Genuine love is unconditional.
It cannot set boundaries or demands.
If it does, it's only superficial.
No matter what happens- love understands.
Every human being is imperfect,
Nobody can stand on a pedestal.
If love doesn't give you what you expect,
It is because YOU won't give love your all.
The purpose of love is in its giving,
Not in what you think you can gain from it.
It exists in mundane daily living,
Not in reaching some romantic summit.
Real love has as its basis compassion,
It transcends mere emotional passion.

This life is
filled with wonder
With gifts from up above
All the beauty of this life
There’s none stronger than love.
With gifts from up above
All the beauty of this life
There’s none stronger than love.
Love is born
within our hearts
A fact we can’t deny
Increasing with the passing time
More as each day goes by.
A fact we can’t deny
Increasing with the passing time
More as each day goes by.
Was once a seed
is now, a tree
It’s full and lush and rife
My love for you can’t be explained
I’ve had it all my life
Till my days
end, you’ll always knowIt’s full and lush and rife
My love for you can’t be explained
I’ve had it all my life
My feelings they are true
No matter where you find yourself
We both know I’ll love you.

Don't believe in your past
Don't be downcast
God has forgiven you
I have too
I always asked God to let me love and forgive like Him
So when the lights fade away and it grows dim
You're just teaching me
To love unconditionally
I won't bring it up, if you don't want me to
I won't shout it out, if it hurts you
You've trusted me to tell truth
Pain exposed, I wish to soothe
I don't believe in what you were
The thought didn't even occur
The love I have for who you are now
Takes away every thought of doubt
And that's how it will always end
Your past doesn't make you
He has made you new
I will always love you
No matter what you do
Don't be downcast
God has forgiven you
I have too
I always asked God to let me love and forgive like Him
So when the lights fade away and it grows dim
You're just teaching me
To love unconditionally
I won't bring it up, if you don't want me to
I won't shout it out, if it hurts you
You've trusted me to tell truth
Pain exposed, I wish to soothe
I don't believe in what you were
The thought didn't even occur
The love I have for who you are now
Takes away every thought of doubt
And that's how it will always end
Your past doesn't make you
He has made you new
I will always love you
No matter what you do
