The Secret of Love

I have heard
I have read
I have seen
I have experience so many versions of love and I
still find myself searching

There say love changes the world
Love keeps you safe
Love has no pain
Love covers a frown with a smile

Love is like a shield of armor
That protects you in the day of war
It builds you up when you are down
Makes you weak and makes you strong

Sometimes you win 
Sometimes you loose
There say love is just a game
There say time can heal the pain

But I am no longer sure for me
Love is just a word
Love chooses you
Love has many companions

Love is mother and child
Love is Humanity
Love is Kind 
Love is patient

Love is not always forever
Love sometimes hurts
Love can be misunderstood
Love can be cruel

Love is what you make of it
Love begins with you
But to discover the true secrets of love
You must first learn to love god
God is love
Love is god.
