What Is Love

What is Love? Love is a gift from the Omniscious One It makes two to become one And has power to build What the evil one has destroyed. It is a fruit worth nurturing, A treasure worth dying for And armour worth putting on. The scorching heat of the sun Failed to fade it away. In the midst of rough rude sea Love keeps its head above the waters. It has hands to feed the hungry foes, Eyes to see the troubled hearts, Heart to welcome the encroaching avaricious enemy And feet to visit the stubborn outcasts. The despised poor clothed in love Is richer than the richest Clothed in their ill-gotten riches. When others speak justice Love speaks mercy and grace And forgives before the guilty asks for it. So…. Treasure it like a rare diamond Keep it as the apple of your eye And Life shall always salute you.
