Cherish Love

-Cherish Love-

Within this heart
Between each spark
Each life giving pump
Is something that has been
And will always be
Love
Some call it a sickness
An incurable disease
Others call it their purpose
Why human beings are here
With such logic
I wholeheartedly agree
It is a powerful force
Far greater than life
It is the most eternal of all things
If true, if for absolute certain
There can be nothing else
Any mountain will be moved
Any obstacle will be traversed
Nothing can stand in its way
It brings strong men to their knees
It reduces mothers to tears
It is one of God’s greatest gifts
Regardless of any and all
Systems of belief
It is ours to have
Ours to hold close
It can never be taken away
It multiplies in many ways
It takes vastly different shapes
But we can never contain it
It cannot be seen
In any discernible way
But it is there
As sure as the sun
As sure as the sky
If we are lucky there will be
Many representations of it
Within our fortunate lives
Certainly there are those
That may say that they
Have never truly felt it
I am sure that they have
I am sure that they do
Each day in many ways
Maybe it’s not as clear
As it should be for them
Maybe they are waiting for something
Something impossible made possible
Something unreasonable
Made absolutely understandable
Maybe they are not ready
Such a predicament
I dare not wish upon them
I hope beyond my own heart
That in time they find it
Just as so many of us have
When and if it is theirs
I hope they cherish it
And if need be remember back to a
Place and time when they were without it
I have mine, it is all that I need
I am a most fortunate of being
I cherish love each day
Between each spark
Each life giving pump
It is there for me
More eternal than anything
I have or will ever face…
