Unconditional love is there to give
A desire for others their lives to live
In richness and in happiness
With unquestioning forgiveness

A love that comes from beyond the heart
One that makes some stand apart
Not about sex but passionate still
With no expectations to fulfill

Accepting others for who they are
A desire for all to reach that star
That drives them through this earthly life
With minimal pain and little strife

It is listening for another soul's pain
Giving what's needed to become whole again
It is respecting another's inner thoughts
Without uttering shoulds or should nots

Age and gender play no role
In this love of universal soul
It is a love of all mankind
A heart set free from the ties that bind
