Love For the Right Reasons

Love For the Right Reasons

Love doesn't build up your expectations
to only let you down.

Love doesn't live to tell you a lie.

Love doesn't hurt the heart it's in.

Love characterizes the person within.

Love doesn't justify wrong actions we make,

But love simlifies the losses we take.

Love has so many definitions that we don't understand,

That we take it for granted instead of in God's hand.

So next time you love, love for the right reason,

For when love comes again you won't miss the season.
