I have a little poem entitled Spectrum of Love that I have had for over 20 years.
"I will give you as much love as I can. If you will show me how to give more, then I will give more.
I can only give as much as you allow me to give. If you receive all I can give then My love is endless and fulfilled. If you receive a portion of my love then I will give others the balance I am capableof giving. I must give all that I have, Being what I am"
Is this the one?
NOW Can anyone tell me who the author is????

Eureka!
A copy is available at www.angelfire.com/blue/nocalgal/spectrum.html. The author is Walter Rinder. Thank you Google!

Thanks for your research Raewyn...you solved the mystery!!

Spectrum of Love


"I love you."


There is a much greater motivation
Than simply my spoken words.


For me to love is to commit myself,
Freely and without reservation.


I am sincerely interested
In your happiness and well being.


Whatever your needs are,
I will try to fulfill them
And will bend in my values
Depending on the importance
Of your needs.


If you are lonely and need me,
I will be there.
If in that loneliness
You need to talk,
I will listen.
If you need to listen,
I will talk.
If you need the strength
Of human touch,
I will touch you.


If you need to be held,
I will hold you.
I will lie naked in body with you
If that be your need.
If you need fulfillment of the flesh,
I will give you that also,
But only through my love.


I will try to be constant with you
So that you will understand
The core of my personality
And from that understanding
You can gain strength and security
That I am acting as me.
I may falter with my moods.
I may project, at times,
A strangeness that is alien to you,
Which may bewilder or frighten you.
There will be times
When you question my motives.


But because people are never constant
And are as changeable as the seasons,
I will try to build up within you
A faith in my fundamental attitude
And show you that my inconsistency
Is only for the moment
And not a lasting part of me.


I will show you love now.
Each and every day,
For each day is a lifetime.


Every day we live,
We learn more how to love.
I will not defer my love
Nor neglect it,
For if I wait until tomorrow,
Tomorrow never comes.


It is a cloud in the sky,
Passing by.
They always do, you know!


If I give you kindness and understanding,
Then I will receive your faith.


If I give hate and dishonesty,
I will receive your distrust.


If I give fear and am afraid,
You will become afraid and fear me.


I will give to you
What I need to receive.


To what degree (amount) I give love
Is determined by my own capability.


My capability is determined
By the environment of my past experience
And my understanding
Of love, truth, and God.


My understanding is determined
By my parents, friends,
Places I have lived and been.
All experiences that
Have been fed into my mind from living.


I will give you
As much love as I can.


If you will show me
How to give more,
Then I will give more.


I can only give you
As much as you need to receive
Or allow me to give.


If you receive all I can give,
Then my love is endless and fulfilled.


If you receive a portion (part)
Of my love,
Then I will give others
The balance I am capable of giving.


I must give all that I have,
Being what I am.


I have loved a boy, a girl,
My parents, art, nature, children
And myself -
Only to the depth that I know myself.


All feelings in life
I find beautiful.


No human being or society
Has the right to condemn
Any kind of love I feel
Or my way of expressing it,
If I am sincere,
Sincerity being the honest realization
Of myself,
And there is no hurt or pain
Intentionally involved in my life
Or any life my life touches.


I want to become a truly loving spirit,


Let my words, if I must speak,
Become a restoration of your soul.


But when speech is silent,
Does one project the great
Depth of their sensitivity.


When I touch you,
Or kiss you,
Or hold you,
I am saying
A thousand words.

Thank you Chaplin, except for one thing. I am almost positive Walter Rinder was a "Sir". Hence, the author`s name is: Sir Walter Rinder.

Not trying to be a "know-it-all", but if someone wants to quote it, it helps to have it correct. I hope I didn`t offend you. If I am wrong, I hope someone will correct me, but I have been quoting this piece for over 30 yrs.

Ooooops!!!!! I have made an error. I wrote to Mr. Rinder, and found that he indeed is "NOT" a "Sir". My error. I have an old copy, (30+ yrs. Old) that DOES say at the bottom, Sir Walter Rinder. However, that is incorrect. Sorry for any inconvenience I may have caused.

To err is human. To forgive divine. I have err`d, I am human. You forgave, you are divine.

My deepest apologies.

Thank you for your support in my writting of SPECTRUM OF LOVE. Originally it was written in San Francisco in the mid 1960s while I was living there.
