True Love
By Belinda Bondi
True love is not made of sand, that’s why
It withstands the tests of time.
It does not fade like a rainbow does,
Or the sun that dims at dusk.
For forgiveness is its daily bread,
And to patience is love wed.
It is lasting, and never gives up,
And it loves, it loves, very much.
It’s heart does not break for pity’s sake,
Or leave memories at wakes.
True love is not made of sand, that’s why,
It withstands the tests of time.
Nor does it change like the seasons do,
For it’s genuine and true.
It is golden and will never rust,
And it loves, it loves, very much.
It does not fade like a rainbow does,
Or the sun that dims at dusk.
True love is not made of sand, that’s why,
It withstands the tests of time.
