How Much Is Love Worth?

I once met a gorgeous woman that I desperately wanted to get to know. But because I couldn't give her certain material things, she lost interest in me. I wrote this poem after that experience. I never gave it to her. Perhaps I should have......smile

I may not be able to buy

you a six million dollar home

and honey I can't afford the

fancy cars you want to own

I'm a hard working man but

some things I can't be

but there's one thing I can give

I'll give you all of me


How much is love worth?

I need to know

Can you buy a faithful heart?

Is trust worth more than gold?

Men of integrity are truly scarce

on earth

So I'll ask you once again

how much is love worth?


I remember the day we met

I couldn't take my eyes off you

Emotions ran like a flood

and I didn't know what to do

Now I come with open arms

offering my love

It's all I have to give

Will it be enough?


How much is love worth?

I need to know

Can you buy a faithful heart?

Is trust worth more than gold?

Men of integrity are truly

scarce on earth

So I'll ask you once again

how much is love worth?

Yes I'll ask you once again

how much is love worth?

It's good you found in time. She would never be have appreciated the precious love you have to give. Be patient, when you find the right one, or she finds you, you'll value each other all the more!

Some people are incapable of feeling or appreciating to worth of true love! Perhaps their "love-truth priority genes" are missing! Great poem, you were the winner in this situation!

After all is said and done, these same people would trade it in a heartbeat for someone to love.

It gets to the point where people like this try and out-do theri friend. then they become rivals, and where do they end up? either alone or making friends with another materialistic individual, and the cycle continues

This is an extraordinary poem. Mail it to her...

You have a valid lesson presented in poetic form -- so worth sharing. She is to be pitied ... she may one day find her riches ... but until she realizes the value of faithful love, she will have little of worth.

Marriage is a partnership. What would she offer in return? Good poem.

Excellent poem! Some people are raised in ways that harden their hearts, and it's very hard to change them until they get brought low by something.She will learn perhaps too late, that love is above all things priceless!

She would never have the comprehension of the loss she suffers... by not having the comprehension of what Is a priceless treasure.

T.G.M. excellent poem. You should have given the poem to her. Integrity, honesty and trust are what is most important.

Well,,it is quite apparent to me that your love is worth more than she was. There will be somebody that will be willing to except you for the heart you have to offer. And I answered your question before I ever opened the page. ~SH~

She was a fool. Love, honor and devotion are the most priceless things a man can give a woman.
