Who Can Explain Love...an edited re-post
Who can explain love?
This thing we give and give
Yet can never give too much of
Or get enough…..
It is not a mere emotion
For emotions rise and fall
While love serves with devotion
Standing faithful through it all
Who can explain this four-letter word?
Leaving us weak, making us strong
Soothing life's tempest, yet evoking
Our deepest passion stirred
In life’s greatest pleasure
And deepest pain
Yet, it seems we love without measure
And it is impossible to love in vain
Though we may love and lose….
We love again
There is none so rich that he does not need it
And none so poor that he cannot have it
Love’s stores are never depleted
Yet useless if we try to save it
In love we hold, kiss and embrace
In love we let go as tears cover our face
In love we leap, in love we fly
In love we live yet daily die
Who can explain love?
This many-splendor-ed desire
Mild as a cooing dove
Wild as a raging fire
Solid as a rock in the ocean
Yet soft as the mist on the sea
Is there any who can explain it?
This splendid mystery

Joyous!
I especially like "while love serves with devotion standing steadfast through it all."
