Don’t just love them for who they are
Don’t just love them by standing too far,
Get into their shoes and feel what they do,
Love them just as you’d have them love you!
Don’t just love them for the good you see,
Don’t just love them for what they can be,
Get to know their flaws – however many or few,
Love them just as you’d have them love you!
Don’t just love them for all that is right,
Don’t just love them for what is by sight,
Get to know ’em for all the wrongs they do,
Love them just as you’d have them love you!
Don’t just love them for all that you knew,
Don’t just love them when it’s brand new,
Get to know them, beyond their sordid past too,
Love them more than how they would love you!
