Seek Love Poem by Danny Speicher

Simple to do, easy to fabricate
Love for a weekend, gone tomorrow night
Not what was meant to be or what is right
But, too frightening to just sit and wait

For what if the knight in shining armor
Never journeys across the heart's courtyard
And, there left all alone, saddened and scarred
Even 'Good Enough' has someone in store

For what if the princess won't need rescue
And, in her royalty, never glances
At one in need of life's second chances
And, 'Good Enough' has found someone to woo

What's one to seek, 'Good Enough' or love, true
Seek love... Seek a love that's worthy of you

A bird in hand is worth two in the bush
Does this wisdom hold when it comes to love
The one thing in which there's nothing's above
Perhaps best just give love a little push

But, alas the world is full of those who chose
The safety of certainty of a love
In which they, themselves convinced themselves of
That the love they had was the best they'd know

But, unhappy are they who look to find
Their gallant knight kneeling before their feet
Or their princess waiting, champion, to meet
But, to 'Good Enough', instead, are confined

What's one to seek, 'Good Enough' or love, true
Seek love... Seek a love that's worthy of you

Chivalry is not dead, nor is true love
Love that resonates in poems and books
Is alive and hoping you, too, will look
And seek the will of Him that sits above

Respect and honor waits for those who wait
A storybook life isn't out of reach
No matter what this modern world may teach
Seek that true love and have faith in your fate

Seek that love... Imitators, forsake them
Find it and vehemently pursue it
For once together, strife, you'll get through it
Please wait for them and don't mistake them

For one should seek that love... That love... Love, true
Seek love... Only the one worthy of you
