Love: a Gift That Keeps Giving

Love is something that everyone needs
Whether you have joy or  your heart bleeds
Love is the key to a better life
It will keep you from envy and strife
Love is needed in this world today
Evil and violence has led us astray
Love is a light in a dark place
Something everyone will soon face
Love is your gift to give
So give it and let someone live
So many people die of broken hearts
Because those they loved depart
So give this gift to those in sight
So that they see their path is right
