Love Is...

by Purple Butterfly

 

Baking you a batch of you favorite cookie

Greeting you each day with a cup of coffee

Sweetening your day with a candy

Topping your choice food with a cherry

 

Dropping by when I happen to pass by

Addressing you with a smile when I say hi

To be your clown when you're sad

A word from the wise when you're bad

 

Arranging music and melody in a song

Concocting a perfect blend of words in a poem

Every fraction of my undivided attention

Baring all forms of deed that show affection

 

An abundant space in my heart

Imparting light in the dark

Offering resolution when you're puzzled

Making more time despite my busy schedule

 

A room full of valuable insights

Allowing complete liberty to explore heights

Granting freedom to make and learn from your mistakes

Providing sufficient room for changes to make

 

Praying to help you in your struggles                             

Taking a leap to hurdle obstacles

Strength to lift when it's hard to handle

Cherish each moment to hug and cuddle

 

Sacrifice that needs to be taken

Bestowing gifts that need to be given

Igniting the passion when we're closer

Finding a reason to be together

 

Showing you a dash of my concern that I know can go a long way

Flashing my sweetest smile to brighten up your entire day

Lavishing you sweetness that you can always treasure

Showing you tenderness that can never be measured

 

That's what LOVE is…

From me to you, well just to mention a few…

Putting it all together in making you this poem.

For who can stop the heart from beating when it's beating for LOVE?

Thousands of melodies have been written

Thousands and even millions more fought and so many have given up their lives

And in what name? All in the name of LOVE.

 

LOVE can never be measured, it has neither height nor depth

LOVE can never be touched yet it is felt by the heart.

LOVE can never be fathomed, neither the wisest of the wisest nor the foolish of foolish

LOVE can never be just a "A little…"

 

For it is LOVE that reunites two souls together

For it is LOVE that binds and heals broken hearts

For it is LOVE that compels one to toil and to labor

For it is LOVE that brought me to you

 

LOVE is the reason for the Father to send his SON

LOVE is the reason for the SON to shed his blood on the cross

LOVE is the sole reason for that sacrifice

LOVE is the greatest among the three that remain: FAITH, HOPE and LOVE.
