Humans have always had their need for love <br />Long before they could calculate the year. <br />Painting on the walls of caves and tombs <br />Stories of accomplishment, conquest and fear. <br /> <br />Life is a constant contest of struggle <br />Plagued by greed, love, war, work and debate. <br />Between all we love; those we tolerate <br />And some we can’t help but hate. <br /> <br />I’d rather be loved and love in return <br />Then have a rich man’s gold piled high. <br />Id rather be loved by someone worthy <br />With honor, compassion and no need to lie. <br /> <br />I’d rather be loved then be crowned a king <br />Of a vast empire of power and domain. <br />I’d rather be loved and never forgotten <br />Not alone, overwhelmed, and ashamed. <br /> <br />I’d rather be loved for my unselfish behavior <br />Eager to protect, provide and preserve. <br />I’d rather be loved for staying resolute <br />To my commitment to love and to serve. <br /> <br />I’d rather be loved for my awareness of duty <br />More then anything life can bestow me. <br />I’d rather be loved and receive God’s grace <br />As I lay down my life before Thee. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />By Soldier For The Lord <br />Tom Zart <br />Most Published Poet <br />On The Web<br /><br />Tom Zart<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sarah-palin-love-poem/
