Love

Love is beautiful, Love is kind

Love is dangerous and sometimes blind

Love inspires music, Love inspires me

Love is really scary and the cost is not free

It will cost you your time, your emotion, your heart

But what you receive in return, well, that's the best part

And as my pen attests to this paper my words for Love cannot express

But if you've felt it before then I can lay my spirit to rest

And know that you know of this Love that I know

That causes me to repeat myself, cause feeble words could never show

The effect Love has and how it changes a man

To throw out everything for the future and let living Love be the plan

But when you fall in Love don't forget that you fell

And there will be pain in this Love, I know it all to well

I told her "I Love you", then she turned and walked away

And I still remember how Love felt on that particular day

But I would rather say and know Love and risk the loss

Then not commit and not be true with my feelings to be the cost

Because the same Love that was causing me pain

Was the same Love I felt for him as I held him that day

And felt his tiny heart as it beat against mine

Love transformed that hospital into God's Kingdom and it was truly divine

And even as I said, "Kwa heri, nakuPenda mwanangu"

That Love is driving me back as if there's nothing else that I can do

So yes I believe in Love, indeed true Love exists

And through his death on the cross, Jesus showed me this

And through his beautiful resurrection, His Spirit witnesses that its true

I can say with my whole heart, "I Love you"
