Love

What is more beautiful then love?
Is there anything as deep and true?
It is a thing that knows no bounds,
And there is nothing it can't get through.

The joyful, hopeful love of newlyweds,
Looking at a life of love spent together.
Full of hopes and dreams for the future,
A knot newly tied that none can sever.

The overjoyed and almost scared love
One feels for their newborn baby.
Hoping that they can raise it right,
Dreaming of all he will do and be.

The deep and steady love of years
When a couple's hair is touched with grey.
They have seen a lifetime of the love
That has never faded or gone away.

That is the thing that I dream of-
That beautiful thing is what I pray for.
It is a beautiful thing, but so rare,
No one on earth could ask for more.
