Love that is sweet and tender so as
to reach out and touch a heart,
A heart so full of warm feelings
That thou cup runneth over

The sweet aroma of love is giving
Of yourself, your time, your feelings
Love that is shared brings closeness
Love lives and it is fed with kindness

Love will perish and die unless it is
Needed, wanted, appreciated and shared
Love has to be free to survive and breath
Love is not to be hoarded, hidden or cold

Greed, pride and jealousy smothers love
Love needs to be freely given and shared
If god has given you his gift of love
Then there is love, to be loved, is to love

Without love we are nothing. Gods greatest
gift given is love. Love is sacred and holy
Love is something needed. To accept love is
to learn the meaning of love

A few even experience real, true love and
The ray of sunshine brings forth happiness
Give a little bit of that beam of love so
Let you love show the sweet feeling of joy

Hold fast with all the love in your heart
Love is binding and filled with dreams
Take time to think to know and understand
Love doesn't just happen It is God's gift

Love is peace satisfaction and sweet
Love is your blessing not your enemy
Love is your friend and comforter
Treasure and cherish it with your heart
