What Is True Love

What is True Love? If love is an action, Where does it start? If love is a feeling, Does it come from the heart? If love is a promise, What does it really mean? Without action, Can it truly be seen? If love is in the eye, Can we envision its splendor? If love is in the voice, Can we hear it soft and tender? If love can be bought, What is its true price? Will it have endurance, And the quality to entice? If love is in the heart, Is it a flame within? If love is a game, Is there something to win? If love is a person, Who may it be? He that acts from the heart, And does it for free? © Bjørn O. Wastvedt, 2017
