Labour Of Love

What could have been

Saved in time

If only things were

Done in time

Now demands much

More effort

A lot more action and

Less of words

Waking up at the

Eleventh hour

A little before the

Milk turns sour

Does not make for

A good cream

Sleeping away life

Into a dream

Promises can never

Build a life

When broken it can

Ruin a life

Real work has only

Just begun

Earn back the trust

That’s burnt

No place in love for

‘What if?’

Love is all about

What is…

Build a bridge for

Love to cross

Think not of the

Gain or loss

Toil away earnestly in

Love’s labour

Soon things will turn in

Your favour

Patience will wait for

Love to triumph

Courage will see it through

Till the end

On the other side you will

See her smile

But for now, you need to

Work a while
