to love means to trust
words to me only represent rust
to love means to embrace
fondness of a young man's face

to love means to bend
bamboo leaves in the wind
to love means to feel
everything alive and real

to love means to heal
words and hands of soft appeal
to love means to move
kindness in mountains to soothe

to love means to flow
lifting hearts in a bright glow
to love means to uplift
sympathy in the midst of a rift

to love means to shelter and hold
words of encouragemeant so bold
to love means to recognize
one's heart as the true prize

to love means to persuade
words that guide and give aid
to love means to trust
God's words are a must

to love means to lend
helping hand over to send
to love means to subdue
all that is good in me and you
