Love?

What is Love? I asked my dad,
It is giving everything I had,
For the love I speak is more than a word,
It is love unconditional, from what I have heard.


Love has suffered much and never was altered,
Love is not selfish, and gives itself unaltered.
Love takes up the burden when overtaken,
Love believes when our beliefs are shaken.

The love that I know has never failed,
That fellowship restored in the temple unveiled.
When prophecies are unknown,
It will be shown, when we are known as we are known.

Looking into the mirror, I see this fleshly shell,
And I know that without God's love, my end is Hell.
I was child and unable to understand,
The truth about Christ's love that He has planned.
