LOVE

Love is the essence of life,
Distilled by us all through the years.
Sweetened by measures of laughter.
Sharpened by measures of tears.

And though you may live to be old
And your body be battered and worn,
Your heart will still long for the warm embrace
You were seeking the day you were born.

The love of a mother for child,
The love of a man and a wife,
Even though passion may die,
Can last for the rest of your life

No matter how old you become,
That need for affection still stays.
And the longing just never gets less,
As you come to the end of your days.
