LOVE AND HEARTACHE--award winner

LOVE AND HEARTACHE


Oh, the pain and woes of love,
The unending heartache!
Shall I, in exchange of these,
Perpetual joy take?

Swollen eyes and sunken face,
An ever-pounding heart!
Shall I give up all these and
A life free of love start?

What will such a life be worth,
Without love and its woes?
It's only through the heartache
That true love always grows.

I shall have my love and all
The feelings that love brings.
Love is what brings tears to eyes.
It's in love that one sings.
