Do It For Love Poem by louis rams

Do it for love

Doit for love I was told, not for diamonds
Emeralds or gold.
I'd gladly give up all my fortune and fame
Just to be with her once again.
There is no value that you can put on love
It is given from the heavens above.
She had loved me with all her heart
And I just took it and tore it apart.
I thought only of wealth for an easier life
And in the process I lost my wife.
She did not want a big house on a well known street
Or fancy foods for her to eat.
Being together would have been fine
Yet I never found the time.
She told me to slow down and enjoy life
It comes around once not twice.
You can not take money with you when you die
But good memories will do just fine.
Take the time to say " I love you " every day
Cause " time just passes away ".
Stop and enjoy nature and all its beauty that we have been given
To make this life really worth living.
Remember the smiles, the laughter, the times you shared
When you threw your problems all up in the air.
" DO IT FOR LOVE "
