love
is what matters
love
is what counts
win, lose or draw
it’s love
that amounts
to something
to everything
to all
in this life
so let’s live
and let love
* * *
here and now
we love and live
or here and now
we die
no far, fair land
no time sublime
beneath some cloudless sky
but here and now
wind blown,
storm tossed
we live
through love
then die
* * *
“Love endures all things”
but love likes to laugh and smile, too
and love doesn’t need all the things we do
just to prove that it can endure them
like flowers
they may need us to manure them
sometimes
but sun and rain
and even a kind word or gentle touch
have been heard to add much
to the blooming miracle
