That stupid thing called love...

Pray for happiness of others,
That we wish we had ourselves.
Love as brothers and as sisters,
Our own feelings left and shelved.

Wait for smiles on weary faces,
For dimples form on rosy cheeks.
Take their hearts to happy places,
So their joy may last for weeks.

Hold a hand and dry a tear,
Give a hug when one's in need.
Whisper softly into ear,
"Don't be sad dear, do not weep."

Leave not those who had been left,
Hold them close, don't let them cry.
Even if your ears are deaf,
Listen close for silent sighs.

As their laughter fills the air,
You have done as good a job.
To give tender loving care,
You have helped to stop the sobs.

When you find they no longer need you,
You're obliged to set them free.
Though a sadness might befall you,
Deep inside you're filled with glee.

Selfless love's a silly thing,
For it's often not returned.
Yet the lonely heart still sings,
After being badly burned.
