What is love we wonder and ponder
is it a force, a feeling, a bond from Yonder?
Is it a word that lights up the day
and makes all worry fade quickly away?
What is love but free surrender
finding home in the heart of another
whispered secrets, warm embrace
a shelter one calls ‘my home sweet place’.
A warm smile that calms the soul
a dance of two which makes one whole–
love is giving from I to Thee
all of these things I found in you
a gentle love I never knew.
