To Love, Is Love

I take a deep breath
And speak my mind while time is still left
I wish for everything to go my way,
I wish that all this hurt and all this pain would all just fade away
To be in love I always pray
To make it a peaceful and joyful day
With love in your heart, it is impossible to hate
I never will know or understand fate
To show love you always have time it is never too late
Good things come to those who wait
I do not believe love hurts
To make it happen takes a lot of work
Love is definitely taught
However, it cannot or should never be bought
It is priceless
It comes with no stress
Always when evil lurks it is constantly put to the test
To have it in our lives we are bless
It four letters make a powerful word
To anyone it is the best thing heard
For some to say it or show it, it becomes so hard 
A cherished gift from God

Love doesn’t make the world go round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.
- Franklin P. Jones
