Love Comes Not To Shackle
For love comes not to shackle but set free
To allow strangers to know its splendor
When they find their bond is from heart's decree
A kiss from this love turns soft and tender
Hold not the argued edge to quell love's dream
Nor each sigh or tear kept along the way
In such a malady, love must redeem
And bow with a warm heart so love will stay
Though years passing move as forever still
The tightly held fingers will bind the hands
And hold the precious trust true love will fill
Through the days traveled love steadily commands
To reveal a keepsake a lover's scroll
Whose well-torn page was written by the soul
