Love Isn’t Everything

Love isn't everything
Not what the poets sing
That all else but loving is vain
Love doesn't make you think
Love isn't water to drink
Love isn't everything
Love isn't slumping or shelter from cold or rain
Love isn't a rich man's gold
Nor bread when the heart has grown old
Love doesn't make your breakfast
Love doesn't change your bed
Love doesn't take the thoughts from books and put them in your head
Love isn't everything
Can't put the smell in spring
Or paint all the leaves in the fall
But for lack of love I'm dying
That's all
