Love

Benjamin Harrell
A word that often comes and goes.

A feeling that when nurtured will grow.

We often search to get a feel for it.

Only to find the one to get lost in it.

It's a face consumed by a constant smile.

The joy and laughter from a little child.

Holding hands while on a walk.

Watching the sunset while you talk.

It's making plans for tomorrow.

As time you often try to borrow.

It's sharing a heart like the last slice.

Kind of like Christmas but twice as nice.

The calm after the storm.

Parents staring at their new born.

A 20 year anniversary.

An evening to an elegant melody.

A feeling with many translations.

But still always held in high anticipation.

So when you have it you're sure to hold on.

Because love will keep a bond strong.
