My Name Is Love

My name is Love I am the name everyone wants to hear You pray your whole life just to hear it once It is a name that can comfort Bring two people together Making their lives better, happier It’s also a name that can frighten Ruin a relationship if it is used to early Destroy hope if it is used to late Four letters, one syllable, one word That brought down the walls of Troy Made Romeo and Juliet legends Empires were built and destroyed because of me Two lovers started a new life by just saying my name My name is Love Use my name sparingly Only with an open heart Only when it is spoken in truth Will it be the one name spoken That will heal a broken heart Bring a smile to a young girls face Give hope to an innocent child And keep the world turning as it always should

This is terrific, Robert....such good advice....this word, " love" isn't something that you throw around lightly...one should use it carefully and surely.
