True Love Ways

True love is
Getting up early every morning in the freezing cold
To go to work to provide 
For the kids and the love
Who was sleeping by your side.

True love is
Is not only doing things we like
But doing things we don't like too
Because you want to please
The person who married you.

True love is
Giving
Having a sense of humour
And together
Making the most of living.

True love is
Putting up with your lovers faults
While reflecting on your own
Finding time for each other
To show appreciation
And spend sometime alone.

True love is
Looking after your love when they are ill
And nursing them back to health
Giving them lots of hugs to say I love you 
And everything's ok
Providing a shoulder to cry on
And a listening ear
To hear what they say.

True love is
Is going through excruciating labour pain
Watling for someone in the pouring rain
Thinking about the other
And not just yourself
Making the most of what you got
And realising it's wealth.

True love is
Showing appreciation not just for the big things
But the little things too
And noticing the difference they do.

True love is
Saying your sorry and letting sleeping dogs lie
And keeping the love shine in your eyes
Coming home with or flowers
Giving them a surprise,

True love is
Seeing beauty in things others can not see
And supporting each other to be all they can be
Recognising and respecting your partner may need some space
And time alone
Or be with friends and talk on the telephone.

True love is
Being spontaneous inventive and a surprise
And never mundane and boring
To keep love happy and alive
Why should courting ever end.

True love
Can be hard work and things don't always go to plan
Realising no one is perfect
And trying to understand
Making your partner feel special
Respected and feel cared for
And the only one for ever more.

True love is
Your love is your best friend
Laying the foundations to build upon and grow
And still loving your partner warts and all when old
Seeing past the wrinkles.

True love is
Creating cherished memories
And storing them in the album of the heart
And missing each other when apart.

True love is
Compatibility and a strong bond
And wanting to learn how to please and get on
Doing things together
Together being strong and one.

True love is 
Sacrifice doing things that aren't always nice
Sharing the same dreams
Lost together in paradise.

True love is
Being made for each other
Honest true and pure
And expressing your love behind the bedroom door.
