For those of the brave


Love

1 word

2 vowels

3 meanings 

4 letters

To write this word takes two seconds,

To speak this word takes two centuries.

Love, and to be loved is for those of the brave .

Those who reconcile with their issues and have much faith. 

How to love ?

One may say 

To love is to be loved 

And I think I may

May love or may reek havoc upon those who can 

But, love is for those who too pray 

And as I pray for love to be loved

I rest my case 

To write this word takes two seconds,

To speak this word takes two centuries.

Love, and to be loved is for those of the brave.

As love can be easy as Sunday's grace 

More complexed then Monday's pace

But as smooth as how love came into place  

Love, like a merry-go-round 

Has its ups and downs 

But once one may love,

Love then shall be found.

To allow love to flow, 

One must first love to grow

And before I could do so

I had to let go 

I learned that love was cherished

And not just told 

To write this word takes two seconds,

To speak this word takes two centuries,

To feel this word may last a lifetime. 

Love, and to be loved is for those of the brave.
