What Is True Love Poem by Francis Duggan

On bushes and trees it surely does not grow
I ask you what love is since I would not know
A mother's love for her child has got to be real
That sort of love to it as true love does appeal
A much stronger love than the love between man and wife
Which in many instances has a short life
'Tis said between young people love's feelings are strong
But such love in some cases does not last long
The poets and singers of true love do sing
They make love out to be quite a wonderful thing
But words as we know are so easy to say
Since passionate love is so quick to decay
And what is true love since it does seem to me
That you will not find it on a bush or a tree?
