Greetings,
I have a poem finding request. I read a poem years ago that I remember as being from O. Henry (but I could be wrong about that?). I do not remember the exact words, but I do remember the context. Basically, the poem is about how love is the greatest goal in life and specifically the thing that will get you into heaven. He also explains how people feel they are doing all the right things to get into heaven, but they are missing the whole point, which is love, which actually will get you to heaven.

Does that sound familiar to anyone at all? I have scoured the internet looking for it and have been unable to find it. Thank you for any help!
