Love Is

Love is the invisible immeasurable force that has the power to create or destroy, change nations and destinies, create alliances, can start wars and shows the mercy that comes from the heart. Love creates great works of art, powerful novels, tender poetry and a child's love letter. Love can be a green eyed monster that can control a man's soul, a young girl's heart, start a fight, kill a man and heal a broken heart. Love can give you strength and courage and scare you to death and leave you unable to speak. Love is a mother's soothing words on a stormy night Is the main ingredient in grandmother's home cooked meals The blistered hands of an exhausted father clawing to provide for his family And the teacher going the extra mile for a student Love is the loyalty of the dog watching for his master's return A wife helping her husband pass onto Heaven Love is in the note mom puts in her son's lunchbox And the bride's secret whispers in her husband's ear Love helps a stranger Love is what the brave soldier gives to die for others Love brings a child to life Love is in the sloppy cake the little girl makes for her daddy Love is light and it comes form God, through God, to us because of his love for us. To be offered and shared without price, asking nothing in return, free as love should be.
