Love Is More Than We Know

Some may think that love is nothing but pain
Jealously guarding, owning their lover
If they just let go, There’s much more to gain
Lean on love with dependencys cover

Or, in thinking love is endless, though true
Flit from one to another, like a sport
Loves deeper places they never come to
Buttresed by the stories, the next one they court

We know the ocean is deep, but how much
We know the sky is wide but not how far
The road goes ever on, lay down your crutch
Let your heart unfold, thus we reach the stars

In my heart this one thing I know, that love
Is always more than we can ever know

Tank you linda I'm glad you like it. Five years ago had you asked me if I had ever been in love I would have said yes. But how little I did know! So blessed to have it grow and grow!
