Rise Above These Petty Things

Expectations, hopes and aspirations
These are ingredients that stifle a relation?
To wish for something to be done for you,
To expect favours returned for everything you do?
That's not a relationship - that's a deal,
A contract that two parties seal.
When you love someone, you only give?
Not bother about what you receive
A smile, a look, a loving hug
These are far more precious than treasures dug
Live not for yourself but those you love?
You might be penniless -
And still be the wealthiest being on this earth
