A Different Kind of Love Poem

I've heard it said that poems of love

Are nothing more than cliche'

Everything's been written, everything's been said

In every conceivable way

They've written about the ocean's blue

Or a smile that could envy the sun

They write of this thing called undying love

Until their days on this earth are done

But what about you're the reason God gave me lungs

To shout your name from the highest of hills

And the reason He made those goosebumps things

When your touch keeps giving me chills

And what about those unanswered prayers

For He knew I was waiting for you

And the part where He says in sickness and health

And the cancer you're going through

For richer or poorer and our money is gone

Hospital bills that we just can't pay

But I want you to know if you stay or you go

I couldn't love you more than I do today

This poem is beatiful because it's not a cliche, it's different to most other poems about love (as the title says) and it's very effective.

The kind of love that keeps you through sickness....that's the real love, Whisk. I think it has all been said before too, but I think it is worth saying over and over again, especially when it isn't about the oceans blue but sticking through the tempests. Lovely thoughts.
