Love Poem: Love Is

Love Is

Love is

Love is as love grows
It grows when you raise children
Who laugh and cry
It grows when you overlook a new flower
To the beauty of crushed flowers 
In your memory book
As if to recall what had budded
In your youth
But is still precious as it ages
And sages
Are confounded to perceive it’s presence
But as each day passes
You are bound by faith if by nothing else
By the changing generations 
That define it
Finally, love is simple so let us enjoy it
Before we grow ancient
And fail to remember because
Love is as love grows
