What Love is

Written by @Yomiowope

Love Is.
Love is life in a bundle delivered by you to
someone with a burden; it is vulnerability
turned strength through trust. It is
founded on wisdom and has only one

source. Love is the hole in every man's
heart that seeks remembrance,
recognition, attention and hope for the
future.

If I needed someone's hand to hold
through life; if I needed a dream to
believe in; and if I needed my brother to
help me stand and my sister to join me in
praise; and perhaps I needed someone to
live and breathe the night air with, and
speak words of hope to a generation in
despair.

If I find someone to help me with any of
these, then I have found love, in a
measure

But if I reach deeper into the recesses of
my soul and give what I have not been
given, love like I've not been loved,
lavishly boundlessly recklessly; if I turn
away from what I need and give my
brother what I have; if I tell my sister it is
well and cover the earth with a prophecy,
and if my enemy were to fall, and I helped
him stand again; then I would have found
love reaching beyond the clouds and into
heaven itself!

I believe in love; it is the greatest power in
the earth; I love to express love, it grows
in me as it goes out of me. The only way that God can love is to love through
me. And if I act in love, I put an end to all
things dead, and open a door to the bright
and beautiful.

Love is bitterness evaporated; it is
forgiveness bestowed
Love is at the end of the extra mile when
you're tired, exhausted, but still find
strength to love more;
Love is the labour that gives you the
advantage.

Love is the commitment to the ultimate
ideal: people
Love is a decision
When all else fails, love will forever remain
