Love

Love is from the heart
Love is from the soul
Love is an essential element
Needed to make the human composition whole.

With it we are rich
Without it we are poor,
To receive it, oh yes we love to,
But to give it we are not sure.

For when we receive it
Our heart rejoices,
But when we lose it
our hearts are sore.

So we give it to those
Whom we believe,
Will return it back for sure.

But, if we would only give it
Without regard,
Our hearts would not be sore
But rather twice as filled,
As our Heavenly Father supplies us with more.
