Just How Difficult Is It Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Just how difficult is it,
To give without getting.
To love just to love.
To show others a kindness,
When they may not show none.
Just how difficult is it,
To smile without a frowning...
Done everyday to do.
No matter if no one returns,
That smile back to you.

Just how difficult is it,
To say hello to someone...
You have yet to meet.
Or say something that's pleasant,
To others who don't speak.
Just how difficult is it.
To notice.
Just how difficult is it.
To know this.
Just how difficult is it.
Just how difficult is it.

Just how difficult is it,
To help someone to find...
Something that they miss.
Then to say that what you have,
Is free you give they get.
And...
Just how difficult is it,
To show love.
Just how difficult is it,
To give.
Just how difficult is it,
To know love.
Just how difficult is it,
To get.

Just how difficult is it,
To show love.
Just how difficult is it,
To give.
Just how difficult is it,
To know love.
Just how difficult is it,
To get.
