The Rarity

The rarity, it seems to me,

Is unconditional love.

For what I see around me,

Is not the kind mentioned above.

My heart cries for the unconditional kind,

Where it doesn't depend on what I do or say.

It only depends on the one doing the loving,

It should be given the unconditional way.

Tell me, please, does anyone know

Where I may find the unconditional kind?

For the love that I have run across,

Always depends on if I "mind".

We are just human beings,

That is all that we can be,

Yet, is there a human being out there,

That can love unconditionally?

I have found that love ebbs and flows,

According to what I do or say.

That truly surprises me,

For it is not the unconditional way.

SOOO, tell me, please, have you found,

The unconditional kind of love?

If you tell me that you have found it,

I shall tell you, it's from Heaven above.
