Love Is?

Love is foolish-love is blind,
love is selfish-seldom kind.

Love is lost-love is found,
love is that which we are bound.

Love is sorrow-love is pain,
the love we need leaves much to gain.

Love is what we fight to win,
even when that love is sin.

Love is glory-love is pride,
love cannot see what to put aside.

Love is felt-love can touch,
for some very little-to others much.

Love has no direction-it may often fall,
but we carry the roadmap in us all.

It is only a matter of what we choose to see,
that sets our course in history.
