Love has no price tag

It is indeed true love
when one simply invest
on loving without
much expectation
of any reward
or recompense
or price, but just loving...

I was seatedby the side of mother
carrying a baby
inside a basket
on a plane
and we talked
about love...

The mother said
that her kind of love
for the baby
is unconditional
24 hours a day
without any price tag
but its so rewarding...

True love is simply
a gratuitous gift
of care, kindness, attention
to the one loved
not minding the time
nor the effort
and even the pains...

True love is self giving
to the maximum
and out of that heroism
of self forgetfulness
comes the true delight
of loving and being loved
and life becomes beautiful,
wonderful, awesome radiance
of love freely given and poured!
