Heart of Strength, Soul of Courage

My "entry" for the February poem quotation competition.

Heart of Strength, Soul of Courage

O, the power of the heart!
Love--God's finest art:
The greatest of all things
Embodied in the King of Kings
When set upon another,
When they become your lover,
O, what strength one feels
To know true love is real!
To feel that one can do anything,
And try it all, you're not to blame.

What might the spirit has!
Unrivaled through the lands.
The emotion felt in war
Of knights and magic yore
When all the people depend
Upon your word to defend!
Their love reaches out to you
Hope and courage comes out, too.
Will you take a hold?
Love truely makes one bold.

To love someone deeply gives you strength.
Being loved by someone deeply gives you courage.
~ Lao-Tzu
