WHY LOVE?
What man has found sweet Peace in Gold;
that Happiness he bought or sold?
Where is the man can stand and claim,
His Greed brought more than Grief or Shame?
In what is found that can compare,
to Joys that those who Love may share?
True Love is all this Life may give,
as reason for a man to live.
To even the unwise it’s clear,
more Joy is found in Love than Fear;
More Peace is found in Love than Gold,
more Happiness than can be told.
Should more be penned, or does this show,
The "Why of Love”, that all should know?
