Only Love Goes On
I woke up one morning in April 2006 with poetry in my head. I should have risen and written it down straight away, but I returned to light slumber for another hour, and by the time I rose, the original rhythm and some of the words had gone. Some of what I'd dreamt up remained, and here it is.
Only Love Goes On
It bothers me, the time we spend,
acquiring things upon this earth.
When our life comes to an end,
we'll leave with what we had at birth
Even faith which gives life meaning,
Hope that helps us struggle through,
Even these will have an ending,
Only one thing goes with you.
It's love that will be never ending,
making this life worthwhile too.
Love is what we should be learning,
Love in everything we do.
Love is not just liking things,
We have to love through best and worst.
Love means living selflessly,
Love means putting others first.
