love is more than just a word used to get our own way,
more than an excuse when we can't think of what to say.

it is more than a plea made to earn a second chance,
it's more than a promise in the midst of circumstance.

it's a helping hand, a kind word and deed,
it's giving to others with desire, not greed.

it's sharing a friend's joy or bearing their pain,
it's forgiving a slight to make things right once again.

love isn't always easy to show,
there are some in this world that love will never know.

love is so much more than just a word,
it's us doing our part and can never be blurred.
