DO!

Do be gentle.Do be soft
Do be the example of the one you love
Do be harmony.Do be sweet
Do be the type of person you would like to meet
Do be patient.Do be kind
(There is only us right here now to find)
Do be welcoming.Hospitable,too
What if the last human being was you?

Don’t!
By Laurie Coker

Don’t be stingy with your love.
Don’t lock it up and lose the key.
Love is not a private thing
That no one’s supposed to see.

Don’t be stingy with your love.
Don’t keep the portions small.
Dish it out like gravy.
Let the drippings fall.

I know you think it’s precious
And you don’t want to waste a drop,
But you’ve an unlimited supply of it
So spend it freely and PLEASE STOP

Trying to build interest
Or hoarding it away.
Don’t be stingy with your love:
Give it all away!
