Love Defined

What is love, but an emotion,
So strong and so pure,nurtured and shared with another

All tests it will endure?

What is love, but a forceTo bring the mighty low,
With the strength to shame the mountainsAnd halt time’s ceaseless flow?

What is love, but a triumph,
A glorious goal attained,

The union of two souls, two heartsA bond the angels have ordained?

What is love, but a champion,

To cast the tyrant from his throne,
And raise the flag of truth and peace,
And fear of death o’erthrow?

What is love, but a beacon,
To guide the wayward heart,
A blazing light upon the shoals
That dash cherished dreams apart?

And what is love, but forever,Eternal and sincere,
A flame that through wax and wane
Will outlive life’s brief years?
So I’ll tell it on the mountaintops,
In all places high and low,T
hat love for you is my reason to be,
And will never break or bow.
