To Be Loved Poem by Gerry Legister

Two women comes into my life
I am sorry I cannot love both,
And be one lover without causing strife
For the way I take leads to truth.

To love and be loved as far as I could,
Love one and leave the other in pain
To stain my name in long ages stood,
Perhaps heaven will have a better claim.

And look down with justice just as fair
To where moral emotions unequally lay,
Though unfair for those passing there,
Not knowing the dangers along the way.

For if they should gamely come back
and find love I doubt it will be the same
Worn path with pain they would walk,
And find steps of reward treading to heaven.

With a smile kept first before they cry,
For a long time they will remember the frown
And shall tell the Intel story with a sigh
On the same path they had previously worn.

For on earth one woman is enough to love
The other realm by heaven to be loved,
And let emotions make a different move
Into the place where truth stood.
