Unconditional Is the Nature of Love

Unconditional is the Nature of Love
 
Love means unconditionally to me 
It never means conditionality 
Never down your neighbor’s leg should you pee 
Never use its rain as excuse, you see 
 
Contentious relationships will decay
Don’t just love your neighbor, love him today
Keep heart and home open consistently
To benefit most from love’s harmony
 
Though one’s own Agape may be sloppy 
No cause to pee on another’s copy 
Just stay with self alone if love seems gone 
Unconditionally await love’s dawn 
 
Love never dies, or a child counts the cost 
When love is gone, it’s your child who is lost 
Unconditionally, expeditiously 
Agape returns conspicuously 
 
Prerequisites stifle heartfelt offers
Leaving you lonely with empty coffers
To know true love is our Lord’s greatest gift
Refuse to let squabbles cast hearts adrift
