Keep Up The Love
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Priceless.
Free.
And when given away,
The return is tremendous.
More beneficial to value.
More,
Than anyone...
Can dream of to believe.
Keep up the love.
It can't even be thrown away.
Or look for it to find.
Everywhere love is.
Appearing all the time.
Only in one's mind,
Is love believed to be missed.
Although...
What belongs to one to have,
Can not be lost.
Stolen to steal or be dismissed.
Keep up the love.
And let it go where it will.
It will come back.
To know it real to feel.
Give up the love.
And let it go wherever it will.
Even if one should turn their back on it,
Love returns.
From where it came.
To know and feel it real.
Without it pursued.
In search for its value.
Once had to have it,
Love is natural.
On not off.
Automatic like a habit is love.
Yes, automatic like a habit is love!
