Love Defined
What is love, but an emotion,
So strong and so pure,
That nurtured and shared with another
All tests it will endure?
What is love, but a force
To bring the mighty low,
With the strength to shame the mountains
And halt time’s ceaseless flow?
What is love, but a triumph,
A glorious goal attained,
The union of two souls, two hearts
A bond the angels have ordained?
What is love, but a champion,
To cast the tyrant from his throne,
And raise the flag of truth and peace,
And fear of death o’erthrow?
What is love, but a beacon,
To guide the wayward heart,
A blazing light upon the shoals
That dash cherished dreams apart?
And what is love, but forever,
Eternal and sincere,
A flame that through wax and wane
Will outlive life’s brief years?
So I’ll tell it on the mountaintops,
In all places high and low,
That love for you is my reason to be,
And will never break or bow.

love is timeless, ageless.
It does not classify alone to strong stormy emotions of youth.
no indeed , true love be it to your parents, kids ,all what we take for granted is special
free , brings peace joy and happiness.
The love shared between a husband and wife till ripe age is fitting tribute, to their love shared from the day they tied the knot.
Of course you should be in love dear Anele, , that is the spice of happiness.
if not we are more like wilted flower
thank you dear Anele for giving your views
