Love's Measure

What is the measure for love to last Making heart tremble and soul rejoice Banishing loneliness, despair and misery Navigating steps brightly into the future? Could it be the new born babe's first breath? Lover's kiss, passions fulfilled, being ever joyful Mother lovingly comforting weeping child Parents providing comfort, food and shelter Helping hand and support from friends Encouragement, overcoming grey depression Casting light into darkness showing the way Soul lost to God joyfully found and restored? Promises made and kept with compassion enhanced Truth boldly told without fearing the cost.
