It comes in varying degrees
Although many are hung up
And can only consider
It’s most extreme meaning
If one loves another
One must love everything
If one cannot do so
Then, it must be something else
How very unfair
Dishonest to love
Deceitful to the recipient
Fraudulent to the giver
Contrary to popular opinion
Love has ne’er been blind
Love simply allows
A plethora of shortcomings
Love has one truth
And so many opposites
The most prevalent of which
Is judgment
Love is encompassing
Judgment is excluding
Love is carried in an open hand
Judgment is delivered by a fist
Love gives
Judgment takes
Love bestows
Judgment hordes
Surround yourself with love
Employ it in your dealings
See others through its eyes
Leave room in life for none other
Let love be
The root anchoring you
The trunk to which your life connects
The branches of giving and receiving
The leaves of your beauty
Take a chance
See what love can do
