Dedication


About seven or eight years ago, I got into a discussion about unconditional love, about getting and giving love. .My side of the discussion was that love, once realized, was always unconditional. That love was only measured by our giving and never by our getting. That there was only conditions to fall out of love and not into it. Red and LadyNads had a different point of view. I thought it was rather silly to put conditions on those we could choose to love, and to protect ourselves by making what we get in return the determining factor to our giving.
Anyway, it inspired a poem, which I dedicate to LadyN and Red.
It's my second favorite, and was also worth my memorization......

*********************** TIN LOVE ***********************

I NEVER KNEW LOVE HAD A GENDER

TIL WOMEN MADE IT SO

THAT LOVE ISN'T JUST THE SENDER

IT'S ABOUT WHAT WOMEN KNOW

*****

IF ONLY MEN HAD A HEART

INSTEAD OF A LOVE TOKEN

THEN WOMEN WOULDN'T PAY THE TOLL

AND THE CYCLE WOULD BE BROKEN

*****

THE TIN MAN HE HAS SPOKEN...

"I HAVE NO HEART IN HERE

THE CYCLE NEEEDN'T BE BROKEN

JUST PEDAL FASTER DEAR"

*****

"GO FIND YOURSELF A CLOCK

AND TIME NOT TO CARE

BUT LISTEN FOR THE TICK TOCK

AND A TIN MAN'S HEART YOU'LL HEAR".

"giving is a gift not only to my mate but to myself because it puts my heart in the right place"

Spunky,

Too many don't understand this..........

Giving is the only gift.......That gives back.
