Real Love
Real love looks less like 2 beautiful
Hollywood stars arm in arm
on the beach & looks more like a room on the
cancer ward where a
loving husband reassures his bride ravaged by
disease that
she’s still the most beautiful girl in the world
to him.
Real Love looks less like big donations made
publicly to have a wing
of the hospital named for the donor and more
like an anonymous
hero laboring by the sweat of her brow in the
shadows.
Real love looks less like gushing letters
promising unending devotion
and more like a spouse hurt, betrayed and
confused,
deciding to forgive and work things out.
Real love is accepting others as less than
perfect,
but still choosing to think the best rather than
assume the worst.
Real Love is not some giddy feeling or a quiver
in my liver.
Real love is a decision to place someone’s
welfare above my own
when I don’t feel particularly warm and fuzzy
about them.
