"the kind of love that has no price tag on it" - 12x12 p. 106

It is indeed true love
when one simply invest
on loving without
much expectation
of any reward
or recompense
or price, but just loving...

I was seated
by the side of mother
carrying a baby
inside a basket
on a plane
and we talked
about love...

The mother said
that her kind
of love for the baby
is unconditional
24 hours a day
without any price tag
but its so rewarding...

True love is simply
a gratuitous
care, kindness, attention
to the one loved
not minding the time
nor the effort
and even the pains...

True love is self giving
to the maximum
and out of that heroism
of self forgetfulness
comes the true delight
of loving and being loved
and life becomes beautiful...
