Wisdom of Love

To live for today, and love for tomorrow is the wisdom of a fool.

For to cheat yourself; from love is hiding behind a painted smile.

Like man who walks down the road, with no direction he is truly lost

 

Take heart and courage for your ideals, to become reality.

Only in certainty does your heart truly know why it is there.

And only through love, can you fulfill, that’s when completeness comes.

 

There are many who have loved and lost, but that is the chance.

And you are not alive, till you know the joy or the pain love brings.

As sure as the wind blows, you will develop and be at peace.

 

For like the man lost , who finds his way contentment will reign.

And an inner strength will grow , mature and blossom.

So fear not the dark nor the light for you have gained the wisdom.
