God is Love—I dare say. But what a mischievous devil Love is! ~Samuel Butler~ (1612–1680) What Is This Love What can it be this act so grand that one can taste it through dark skies and even when a baby dies love beats inside a mother's cries What is this love of Heroes that when the world has gone insane it rights the wrongs inside your brain and fills your soul like rain What is this thing that we all love that gives us breath and life is it a tool that ends all strife or acts of God under a knife What can it be this word so deep that seeps you to the bone its LOVE alone that saves, then brings you home.
