The All Importance of Love

What on earth is more important than love Don't think you can name me a single thing It keeps this old world spinning round and round That's the way it is, that's the way it's always been Can you imagine a world without love It's surely not somewhere I'd want be Ship me off to the heavens to explore other worlds This would no longer be home to me Always been a lover, not a fighter But I guess it's part of the human condition Good or bad, agree or disagree, it's who we are We are either happy and content with life Or we're unhappy and hate the hand we've been dealt Thankfully I've been blessed and am in the former category I live and love life to the fullest every single day Each moment is precious, to be enjoyed Our final day is a mystery, it's unknown to us Sure wouldn't want to know that day anyway Can you imagine the feeling of dread as it drew near The days dwindling down, getting fewer and fewer That's when love is most important To be surrounded by caring family and friends That's when we surely would know The all importance of love
