Love is all there is: it nurtures the weak,
and will feed the starving. it warms the soul,
emboldens and uninhibits the meek,
It takes broken pieces and makes them whole.
Love is a raft in a turbulent sea,
it’s a shield against a condemning word
and yet from it you can never be free
forever you’ll be trapped like a caged bird.

A lost love can ******* the strongest man,
or it may silence a boisterous voice.
But more often love is a helping hand
that will help guide you to each loving choice.
And when it gets tough it’s what you think of
for that above all else I will take love
