A Love To Know

What if love was like a river
     living wild and flowing free,
     like a ribbon through the heartland
     as far as one could see.
     Would forever mean forever,
     if this were truly meant to be?
     Could we leave sad memories
     on distant shores?

     What if peace was like a fire
     that stops the chill from winters hold
     and held each heart in comfort,
     away from pain that's growing old?
     Would forever mean forever
     with souls alone out in the cold?
     Could we leave sad memories
     outside our doors?

     What if hope had never found a way
     to keep us in its stead
     or hadn't even passed this way
     for want of what was said?
     We just might be wondering,
     just wondering alone,
     for all the love and warmth,
     your light has truly shown,
     and for the most enduring peace,
     this heart has ever known.
