More Than a Feeling

Love isn't just a single word or feeling Said to tickle an ear and leave you reeling Nor is love abstract and void of care But what one envisions and does all year We convey our love by things that we do When a loved one is hurting we hurt too Love is conveyed by deeds not merely said And connects us all with a common thread Love is single soul embedded in two separate bodies That keeps the heart beating for many centuries Love isn't a feeling for a short period For Its care is countless and myriad Love is a word some find difficult to say But it leaves an enormous price to pay Love is feeling of endless sacrifice That can never be bought with no price Love is bond that binds two souls Its a great gift that must be extols Love is a shield that not only blinds our heart from hate But distance our soul from all forms of irate Love means when one hurts us, we forgive Not five years later to bring up and relive Love takes our soul to where it belong for it keeps no record of wrong Love means to give without asking For it makes living on earth basking Love is boundless and priceless Its limitation is endless Love sometimes forces on us a ling wait But love never delegates us power to dictate Love is that master key to the door of happiness Its the bricks that forms the mantle of success We don't have to agree with each other to love For God gave me what I was unworthy of What's held in your heart your mouth will speak So before speaking do a mental critique love is never idle or to be cast in mothballs I see love as a servant in coveralls In short, Love is GODS nature in procreation For it's the genesis of human creation
