On Defining Love

On Defining Love

On defining love, it could be said

Trying to define it could be read

As an attempt at futility,

As some know what others cannot see.

"There's no such thing as love," some might say.

"What love is, may change from day to day."

Purity of love oft deemed divine;

"God is love," the focus, I call mine. 

In the scope of love lies freedom true,

Perception of love each can pursue.

How we define love would seem to lie

Within the realm of time that does fly.

Ev'ry era re-defines its love;

Some seem the same and fit like a glove;

Others differ in some unique way.

Perhaps that has to do with word play?  

The most important thing, it would seem;

Love is not regarded as a dream,

Or fantasy of some kind, not real.

Love bears within, the power to heal. 

So magnify love, as you define

The word called love, with a pen or line.

Show your love to others in some way;

Love as you know it, or can display.

The power of love will never fail,

Regardless of its era or tale. 

Definitions are just words we use.

Love is the response we rightly choose.
