Love me not for outward appearance
the sum of me is far more than that

Love me not for the things I do for you
that just scratches the surface of me

Love not me for worldly goods and possessions
for all of these soon can vanish like dust

Love me just as I am with warts and all
take time and learn to understand my moods

Love me for the words that spring from my pen
these sentences will tell you what I am about

Love me and accept I often walk a different path
and in return you will hold my heart in your hands
