Power of Love

Love enters life in many different ways

Filling voids and brightening days

Highly charged emotion often misunderstood

Deep inside our being this power called love

Love for our children held close to the breast

Guidance through life often put to the test

Sometimes unpredictable cause for alarm

Do all in our power to protect them from harm

Love for our partner developing trust

Initial excitement then waning of lust

Comfortable companionship begins to unfold

Reaching a climax without power of control

Love for our families who we hold dear

Dealing with problems through laughter and tears

Sharing of memories some bad and some good

Overcoming obstacles with the power of love

Love for our friends we treat with respect

Forging a bond no more they expect

Always loyal and true till the end

The power of friendship on which we depend

Love for our pets who make few demands

Only needing kind words and a gentle hand

Happy to see you they stand proud and tall

Unconditional love the most powerful of all
