I know what real and enduring Love is
was born in it and lived within for over fifty years
I was bathe in it, shared it, held it and watched it daily
connected at eighteen and twenty-five till both went two years apart
from start to finish it was always there as real and vivid a legacy ever
father and my mother showed it to me and others in so many ways
What can you tell me about love, what do you know
I know what real and enduring Love is
and its so real it made me so real
To this day, to this moment
strong, passionate, enduring
True, selfless, sincere
Lasting and enriching
made me a real man!
