Love Defined
Love is simple yet love is grand
It is a sly wink and a touch of the hand
It is indefinable like shifting sand
Love is a lullaby. Love is never planned
Love is soft whispers on a star filled night
It is a bride all dressed in soft lacey white
It is a walk hand in hand in the bright moonlight
Love is a poem that lovers recite
Love is like snowflakes that caress one’s face
It is missing a loved one in a far off place
It is a tender kiss and a tight embrace
Love is the one thing in life that we can’t replace
Love is laughter and happy times
It is smiling children and nursery rhymes
It is holidays and Christmas chimes
Love is sharing throughout our lifetimes
Yet
Love can be painful when least expected
It can leave one lonely and feeling rejected
It can pierce your soul and leave it battered
Love can be unkind and leave one shattered
But always remember
Love is the center of our being
It is a glimpse of heaven for the seeing
It is a precious gift well worth pursuing
Love, once found, makes life worth living
