For the contest, Pick a Line, by Hilo Poet
Love means never having to say you're sorry For love is strong as a young heartbeat declares Love is as magic as night sky is starry and often travels upon whispers of air Love is a lifetime if we can hold it near So many beats have resounded with love's name Beats grow even stronger if we can but hear Those weaker heartbeats that cannot fan a flame Love sometimes falters with a pain young or old It trembles with fear in the sad, hungry child it beats in shelters of strangers who are cold Is sad for an angry world where it once smiled -B
