UNCONDITIONAL LOVE
I can start the day without caffeine,
I can get going without pep pills,
I can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,
I can resist complaining and boring people with my troubles,
I can eat the same food every day and be grateful for it,
I can understand when my loved ones are too busy to give me any time,
I can overlook it when the ones I love take it out on me when, through no fault of mine, something goes wrong,
I can take criticism and blame without resentment,
I can ignore a friend's limited education and never correct him,
I can resist treating a rich friend better than a poor friend,
I can face the world full of lies and deceit,
I can conquer tension without medical help,
I can relax without liquor,
I can sleep without the aid of drugs.
Who else gives unconditional love?
