There is an essence in love
That reaches beyond the sensible.
It spills out when you think it shouldn’t
And it commits you to giving yourself,
Whether you’re strong enough to give
Or too broken to weep.
Loving doesn’t allow you to say no
When a heart calls to yours
In need of healing, in need of laughter,
In need of silence and a listening heart.
It is the essence of love
That the heart can but say yes.
It is love’s essence that compels us
To serve when we are weary,
To comfort when we need to weep,
To offer laughter when every fiber of our being
Bids us spill our grief instead.
Love is not easy, but it is essential.
And in the shadow of love stands honor.
It is the offspring of love
And it is follows where love has worn the path.
Where you find love, there you will find honor,
For it grows with its roots deep
In the essence of love.
