Analysis of One love

One love. 1957 (Carmel ca)



One Love.
One love is all that's needed.
When facing life alone.
Without one you will suffer.
Nor have a happy home.
For who is there to answer back.
To hold you when you're cold.
Or in the end and stumbling because you're very old.
A vow is made when joined in youth forever to be wed.
In sickness or in health of life until they both be dead.
There are storms sometimes upon our Life, we feel not much pleasure.
But don't give up or lose all hope loves your greatest treasure.One  love is all that's needed.
For this I'm very sure.
One love is all that's needed.
From another one's heart that's pure.

About this poem

I wrote this poem when I was in prison and I thought that all love had left me and I knew being in our lives of human beings we only need one love. Although I submitted this call years ago and I'll go Hallmark themselves wanted to purchase it from me I wouldn't have it adulterated by commercial market because one love is the very source of our life and we're far more than anything else then this Earth could ever offer.
