Love

The wise grandmother said to her grandson
If you cannot love yourself you cannot love anyone
With such a truism few would disagree
Any act of love is a good act it does seem to me
Love and kindness are siblings in a loving person you will find
A person who is also compassionate and kind
Of more love in the World we are badly in need
And those with the gift of love are good people indeed
But love on the bushes and trees does not grow
And those who do have it have the inner glow
Love it does not have an age it can be in young or old
And it is something that cannot be bought or be sold
Those who do not have love in them cannot be compassionate and kind
It is a gift of the beautiful mind.
