We Know True Love

We know true love is an affair of the heart But few loves between men and women last till death does them part And love often ends in bitter acrimony between man and wife When they thought early on they would know love for life. Poets down through the ages of true love did sing And love as we know it is a beautiful thing Yet so many types of love so many one could name And no two loves as we know are exactly the same. The love of a mother for her children with her till death remain On behalf of them she is happy to forsake self gain The great love stories of history love historians recall But the love of a mother for her children is the greatest love of them all. So many types of love of that we do know And where dislike and mistrust exist the seed of love cannot grow And those who are loving are generous and kind But love in every heart one surely won't find.
