Yes what is love?
no words can define it -
It's something so great
only God could design it.
Wonder of wonders,
beyond man's conception,
And only in God
can love find true perfection.
For love means much more
than small words can express,
For what man calls love
is so very much less
Than the beauty and depth
and the true richness of
God's gift to mankind -
His compassionate love.
For love has become
a words that's misused,
Perverted, distorted,
and often abused
To speak of light romance
or some affinity for
A passing attraction
that is seldom much more
Than a mere interlude
or inflamed fascination,
A romantic fling
of no lasting duration.
But love is enduring
and patient and kind
It judges all things
with the heart, not the mind.
For love is unselfish -
giving more than it takes..
And no matter what happens
love never forsakes.
It's faithful and trusting
and always believing,
Guileless and honest
and never deceiving.
Yes, love is beyond
what mankind can define
For love is immortal
and God's gift is divine.
