True love
makes your heart soft and tender
it is an allowing force
that seeks the goodness of the beloved
and hopes always for
the soul’s welfare
true love
has no selfishness within it
it is a yearning for the sense of what
is in deepest alignment
with the other’s purpose
true love
knows how to surrender
even its own wanting
when wanting shows us
there is another journey
chosen for our soul
and so we must
seek true love
as the guiding star
whose celestial purpose lies
in lighting up
our destined path in life
