“ENDURING LOVE”

It’s a tear upon our pillow, a whisper in our ear.

A warm breath blowing through our hair, a sudden thought we fear.
It’s the sparkle deep inside our eye, the velvet texture of our lips.
When we hold our love in our arms, we bring to life our dreamers trip.
A kiss can last a lifetime; a thought can cure any ills.
Love allows us to step inside our self, to sooth our fragile will.
It allows us to conquer our greatest fears, be brave when reality speaks.
And endure absence for a lifetime, when life ends lets our spirit leap.
Inspires poets to write gems or pearls, and musicians serenade multitudes.
Lets teachers influence children’s hearts, give hope and fortitude.
Gives promise of spiritual bliss, love can touch the affluent.
Let us reach our hand down to coddle the poor, shares the ambivalence
As we see love has many faces, greets us all at lease once in our life.
It comes when we lease expect it; its truth gives us inner sight.
True love should not be denied, try to control it renders us hopeless.
Rejoice in its feeling, to surrender gives us bliss.
