As a child it's our security
It's all we ever knew
As an adult it's our fear
Its horror is too true

It's something we all look for
Its beauty is so grand
It's torture when it turns
It does not understand

It comes to us with pleasure
It enhances our dreams
It leaves us with a void
Its unending internal screams

Without it we feel lost
It's something that we need
When we have it, it attacks
On our hearts it does feed

Once we experience it
We can never get away
We think we'll get over it
But the pain will always stay

So, is it good, or is it bad?
The answer is yes.  Isn't it sad?




Love is the law, love under will.

you said it all,
before you have called,
a child is a precious gift we receive,
yes they know how a heart to grief,
and they show their love with innocent kind,
and turn our heart in a forgiven mind,
but what they do, or even don't do,
our love for them is always true.
before you have called
you have named it all,

(((warm hugs)))

  Yes it must be true
  Not just for one but two

Charisma
  It can throw us into a terible fit
  But, for our children we always have it

dgvarner
  Yes love it or hate it
  Just remember to take it

Love is the law, love under will.
