Love Tests Itself
Love tests itself in turbulent waters
Neither in the colour of lipstick
Nor in the scent of cologne
Or in the eloquence of speech
When the river of life churns
With its ups and downs and twisting turns
Stand firm and be ready to learn
Though you may suffer quite a burn
Many a great men have humbly fallen
In their own way and in their own calling
As did Peter when at once he knew
Thrice denied and the cock crew
Others have cursed their fate or mate
Run to fortune tellers or charm sellers
To seek out the reason for the wrong
When in truth they are not strong
Love tests itself in turbulent waters
Neither in the colour of lipstick
Nor in the scent of cologne
Or in the eloquence of speech
