Love

 

Love what is love

 

Some say it’s a sign from above.

 

I say it’s a special thing

 

Between two people.

 

Love is what’s around you when your

 

Standing under the steeple.

 

Where a preacher should give you your

 

Sacred veils.

 

Love is like a sign that there

 

Will be bells in your future.

 

Love is a word your not suppose

 

To say to everyone you meet.

 

And if your mate beats you that

 

Isn’t love.

 

Love is like a sign from god

 

Saying he loves you and

 

He wants you to share it with everyone you meet

 

Love is what that is.
