Things we do for love.

Some things we do for humanity,
Some we do for country.
Some things we do for prestige,
Some for the reputation,
Sometimes we hurt and shun,
Sometimes we smile and shine,
Sometimes we look past some wrongs,
So much that we appear spotless to thyself,
Sober and sullen we slumber in thoughts,
So when the raging fire of love comes to hurt,
Some pain we soak alone,
Some pain we sore the seeds,
Some things we do for friends,
Some things we do for family, family in solitaire,
Sometimes we seek solitary engagement,
So much so that we soldier to not to soak in tears,
Some things we do for the sake of mates,
Some things we do for love,
Sometimes a mix of joy and sorrow, the blessings come to pass,
So long as we do some things for love?
Solace we seek as everlasting passion surmounts.
