I Believe In Love

Say not that the world is all bad and filled with hate.                                                                                             Cause it just is not so that everyone is fishermen's bate.                                                                                           No need to fear there's a demon behind every door.                                                                                                        Cause behind many doors are things most would adore.

I do not mean to say in any way that this circular planet is divine.                                                                       Cause to be truthful, I've faced a lot of people who were unkind.                                                                                 But that is no cause for you nor me to give up on goodness and love.                                                                             Cause everywhere I've ever been, I've met angel-people from above.

There is a romantic love that we often fall in and out of from time to time.                                                           But for God-given reasons, we seem to get right up and get back in the love line. This love can hurt us sadly, but getting over is just a question of when. That's cause we were made to reconnect and forgive, to love and try again.

There's "pretend to be love" that's selfish, deceptive, and knows how to take.  It is a love born out of hurt, and it gives birth to hurts and creates heartaches. There is an eternal love in the Greek language, "Agape", which knows no end. It's The Almighty's love, never earned or deserved, and never wears thin.
