PEOPLE WILL REMEMBER MY LOVE

 
My love was not on a timer
It existed around the clock
Even in my dreams
Also when in conflict with someone
My love was there

I had hopes that they would see the light
But as you know life does not work that way
People are resolute and measured
They have their point of view and
This is a sacred thing to them, but on
Further investigation they have
No reason to insist on being right

I love them more and hold out hope for them
Yes, I tripped up now and then and
Scattered a little dust as I walked
My thoughts ran deep, as deep as my heart
Wherever I was, was brighter in my eyes
Only because I shared my love while being there

Many could not understand and never will
They do not know the equation of love
It is not a simple thing and the
Giving of oneself to others in one mind
Is not necessarily the same in another
Even though they both have given

I have been consumed with anger and
Will not deny that I have been judgmental
Out of this though came a deeper love, so
A small slip backward became a gift
It was up to me to use that gift and
I have always used it well

Some may say that I was bitter
But they refuse to see the brightness of intention
And cannot distinguish between love and frustration

I spoke of dust, but dust settles
Now I am dust and you can only remember
You will remember from midnight to midnight
You will be blessed with that good feeling
