Unconditional Love

The first day I met her, I was at the cafe getting some fine food
She was bussin' the tables in raggedy clothes and sun-dried shoes
But somehow I looked at her and just marveled her numb life
Was it her long brunette hair or eyes that sparkle in sunlight?
Her dedication, her resilience, or all her hardworking days
For some low-end tips and a paycheck below minimum wage
So one day I got the courage to ask her on a date with me
She was stand offish, and surprised when I made the plea
But she said; "Yes, we can give it a try and grab a coffee"
"That sounds great, here tomorrow morning" I replied softly.

And here we are today, we've been together for twenty years
yeah we had our differences, family deaths, we shed plenty tears
I offered her the world, a nice house and luxury cars, the good life
A Healthy Diet, Brand Name clothes, anything she would like
After all this time, she still never wanted a dime
She stayed true, and never became daunted and primed
It was never about the money, never about the easy livin'
Or not being hungry, or having anything that was freely givin'
She was this one in a kind ace; A pure beautiful angel
A heart, no matter how aged, was youthful and graceful
No matter what I had to give her, it was superficial and dumb
Any other person would have found it irresistible stuff
But was she gave back was unimaginable, It was the best gift of all.
What she gave me back…

Was unconditional love.
