Love

Inspired by “Our Love was Good and Our Love Was Right” by Bradley Hathaway

Written by James G.

It’s the thing that poets write about, It’s the thing that singers sing about,

It’s the thing that flowers bloom for, It’s the thing that stars shine for,

It’s the thing that children laugh for, It’s the thing that Jesus died for,

It’s the thing that winter waits for, It’s the thing that trees reach for

It’s the thing that attics stop for, It’s the thing that widows die for,

It’s the thing that the proud are humbled for, It’s the thing the lonely are looking for,

It’s the thing that David stood for, It’s the thing that Paul bled for,

It’s the thing that our hearts pulsate for, It’s the thing that God provides for,

It’s the thing that orphans ask for, It’s the thing that Dogs protect for,

It’s the value of the broken life, It’s the whisper in the deepest night,

It’s the thing that blind men reach for, It’s the thing that babes were born for,

It’s the thing that clouds float for, It’s the thing that racers race for,

It’s the thing that Daniel dreamed for, It’s the thing that dancers dance for,

It’s the reason a husband is with his wife, It’s the reason I’ve come to realize,

It’s the thing that sleepers wake for, It’s the thing that wrath is ceased for,

It’s the thing that prophets speak for, It’s the thing that Stephan was stoned for,

It’s the thing the actor acts for, It’s the thing that prostitutes beg for,

It’s the thing that made me come alive, It’s the thing that held me while I cried,

This thing, Love, is the most beautiful thing, anyone can have or give.
