Love sought me out Never leaving me in doubt From my Mother’s eyes Shining bright, alive, life-size Love silenced all my fears Wiping away my tender tears Reassuring my soul of hope Silencing weeping so I could cope Love braved the coldest dread Making me feel joy instead Encouraging my faith, my trust Erasing worry and every disgust Love singled me out to believe Silencing uncertainty, so I receive Promises of a future so bright It’s pretty much black and white… Love lives inside, always smiling Charming, persuading, beguiling Creating a home for every dream Where God’s wonder reigns supreme Love like this is alive, a dancing fire Reminding the heart to believe and admire The grace that brings relief and peace It will never go away, never release The heart from its amazing conviction That love is more than simply addiction Love is the prayer and the solution Love is the heart and soul’s restitution Like a light burning away the darkness Removing the past’s haunting, its starkness With the brilliance of a passion so alive The feelings inside the heart will forever thrive God is love and love is God Wherever you go, here or abroad There is no doubt that love abides Joy, hope and peace it always provides Love like this is a wonder Nothing can ever put it asunder The Meaning of Love Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Anoucheka Gangabissoon August 19, 2022

So brilliant and effortlessly flowing ! The attributes of love are numberless and your beautiful poem has come to a fitting conclusion with a stanza I love so much. "God is love and love is God/ Wherever you go, here or abroad/ There is no doubt that love abides/ Joy, hope and peace it always provides"
