Deep in the heart

‘Tis the season for love of man
We must love now not “when we can.”
Love is only good anyway
After we’ve given it away.

Love, hope, and charity you see
Governs the lives of you and me.
Love is the greatest, yes by far
For love’s truth you can never mar.

‘Tis God’s unconditional love
Showered on us all from above.
He sets the example for all
And it’s not hard to do at all.

Give love freely, ask nothing more,
And you’ll get love back ten times four.



Live for love. Without love, you don't live.

Do it now do it today
It is not love unless
you  give it away.
Thank you for sharing
a message we all should
practice everyday.

I enjoyed the simplicity of this, it was honest and refreshing and your rhyme scheme I really liked.

What is that you express in your eyes? It seems to me more than all the words I have read in my life.

truth you spread for all
in silent passage you call
to love, love again

Thank you Interloper
