But For Love
But for love, our world would be a sad place
full of lonely faces, strangers to hope.
And although fear and hate are commonplace,
love's the cure-all that allows us to cope.
Love can meld hearts together forever
when lovers share the same eternal soul.
And thus, tethered to the end of never,
two halves of one soul feel forever whole.
Trust connects your heart to another's heart,
and you can feel the presence of love's touch.
For we're greater than the sum of our parts,
so much more than mere blood, bones, flesh, and such.
Love separates us from nature's vast herd,
and to have never known love... seems absurd!
