"One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life. The word is love."
By Sophocles, Greek Poet
Love, strongest emotion, feeling divine,
When life becomes bitter and tough, we pine
For a thoughtful hand to hold, not resign,
lean on a soul intertwining with mine.
When pure Love blossoms, egos disappear,
It's an earnestness for someone so dear,
A child's eternal love for his mother,
A friend's sincere affection for his peer...
Life turns cruel prison without love true,
Life's harshest moments we do overcome,
It's a sublime blessing which gets us through,
When sorrowful and anxious we become.
Travelling uphill paths of life unknown,
I know You're with me, I am not alone!
