Love Is

Love is
What we need to do
Musts
We have to do
To say, to give
Far above our own hearts
Willingly
For someone else's
Edification and good pleasure
Yielding
Far more than
What we want to do
Desires 
We long to do
To say, to give
From our own hearts
Good pleasure and edification
For someone else's
Love... is
We do both
