Love Is
Love is an outstretched hand in time of need
It is the planting of mercy’s seed.
Love is a cooling rain
It is a song"s sweet refrain.
Love is a passionate kiss,
Love is a loved one dearly missed.
Love is a field of flowers in bloom,
Love is a lover’s moon on a warm summer night in June.
Love is an enchanting dance.
Love is allowing the heart a second chance.
Love is a tender caress
Restoring the weary soul with rest
Love quenches the thirsty man
Beached on the desert sand.
Love is our hearts song
It’s that place we know we belong.
Where love abides,
There also resides a cooling tide
That comforts the heart with sweet peace
Upon which the weary soul can feast
Out of the abundance of the heart love doth come
Like the warmth of the morning sun
Giving radiance and light
On the darkest of nights.
Love is life and breath
It is giving all you have left
It is the rhythm of two hearts beating in time
Love is the poet’s rhyme.
Love is the romance we make,
It is the give and take.
It is our rapture in blue
It is all that we know as true.
Love is our heart’s center.
It is that place we are safe to enter.
Love is that special place two can hide.
Love is you and I
