Love is born and lives a life of its own
breathes sweetly upon the one it adores
clings tightly to its threshold to paradise
believing so completely in its heartbeats
It has no conception of disillusionment
no expectations of betrayal or rejection
love is a thing of great beauty born in a
heart and nourished in a soul of songs
There, where all emotions are grounded
love puts down roots and begins its life
sending out signals and aromas of desire
so that the person of choice recognizes it
Love waits breathlessly, happily, eagerly
to be found and wrapped in eager arms
to be welcomed as a genuine treasure to
last a lifetime, never ceasing its faithfulness
Look for it and ye shall find it waiting if
nowhere else but a mother's arms.
