Love is not furtive or flagrant
Love is not ostentatious or demanding
Love is…a steady hand
cloudy eyes that see
deep within your soul
compassion for feebleness
Love is a noble champion
surprise on just another Sunday
doing without – sacrifice
love is comfort for
things that frighten
daily disappointments
and failure
Love is endurance
tender absence
warmth of the soul
The path to love can be long, arduous
and passionately redeeming.
