For The Love of Old | A Poem

For the love of beauty

For the love of old

For the love of you

I write this poem

For the love of gentle hearts

For the love of kind souls

For the love of you

I sing these words

For the love of determined minds

For the love of worn hands

For the love of you

I see these pictures

For the love of all things good

For the love bounteous comfort

For the love of you

I pen these lines

For the love of tired eyes

For the love of selflessness

For the love of you

I share your stories

For the love of wrinkled faces

For the love of heritage

For the love of you

I speak your names

For the love of courage

For the love of old

For the love of you

I live grateful for today

For the love of the truth

For the love of old

For the love of you

I am hopeful for tomorrow

For the love of beauty For the love of old For the love of you I write this poem

For the love of gentle hearts For the love of kind souls For the love of you I sing these words

For the love of determined minds For the love of worn hands For the love of you I see these pictures

For the love of all things good For the love bounteous comfort For the love of you I pen these lines

For the love of tired eyes For the love of selflessness For the love of you I share your stories

For the love of wrinkled faces For the love of heritage For the love of you I speak your names

For the love of courage For the love of old For the love of you I live grateful for today

For the love of the truth For the love of old For the love of you I am hopeful for tomorrow
