I love you for your strength,
the rigid iron to drive into the night
when so many lay their heads to rest.
I love you for your kindness,
your compassion flowing strongly
in your trade of self for other’s best.
I love you that you love me,
a man of faults that reaches for the sky
so I can soar with you.
I love you for who you are,
because you know who you are,
and that even as you see me as I am,
you love me nonetheless.

IN YOUR TRADE OF SELF FOR OTHERS BEST... I think you have captured the essence of love in that one line.
Your poem reminds me how amazing it is to know someone as they are, with all the flaws and sharp edges, and still decide that they are worth loving!
We can truly love as many times as we allow ourselves to risk it. It speaks eloquently to the resiliency of our humanity. Your poem speaks so well of the dumbstruck feeling of discovering that someone loves us more than we love ourselves. And that is what inspires us to become worthy of their belief. We cannot love until we can accept that they are right about us.

Beautiful piece.
I agree with Jaye. The line "in your trade of self for
other/'/s best" is the definition of true, unconditional
love.
