Notes About The Poem

Love Is Quite Powerful

Love is quite powerful
            All shades and variations of it

                     For instance, love...

                Between mother and baby
                  Between father and son
              Between brothers and sisters
      Between close friends, husband and wife

             One's love for life and freedom

                A soldier's love for country
             An intense love that sneaks up
                  Suddenly, unannounced

            Love is quite powerful, especially...

         A love that is pure and unconditional
  A candle no gust of wind could ever extinguish
 Infinitely more powerful than hate could ever be
           More powerful than all the things
       That explode, such as a bomb, a firework

After all, isn't love what makes the world go round?
        Isn't it what makes life truly worth living?

         It's not just powerful, it's unconquerable!
