The Root of Love

The Root of Love

                                 Comes from the principles of faith,
                                 To claim it one needs grace.
                                 That grace so defined that one will know,
                                 That the root's of love tends to glow.

                                 The root of love are those keys beyond life,
                                 Something that claims a sacrifice.
                                 That sacrifice of comfort and the desires of,
                                 For desire can bring forth compassion's love.

                                 The root of love know's all loves pain,
                                 And the memory that forgot shame.
                                 So if from pain love is found,
                                 Then love's root is firmly sound.
