The Power of Love

You chose to stay young and beautiful,

Through the power of the heart,

With the love you do impart,

For it is joy that keeps us young.

You share that with your husband,

Adding hearts with your children,

People know you as a true friend,

This has been true from the start.

There are only hellos,

There is no goodbye,

In the seeking of meaning,

There is only love.

Anyone can smile on good days,

On bad days it's a choice of the heart,

For when joy you choose to impart,

God brings it back to you.

Facing a scare of health,

No one knows why these things do come,

Yet it is holding fast to love,

Which takes us back to the start.

There are only hellos,

There is no goodbye,

In the knowing of meaning,

There is only love.

We can not choose the things that happen,

We can only choose what we will do,

Holding fast to what is true,

We give others strength and hope.

Prayer and love are good energy,

Which only grows when shared,

Causing miracles which open our eyes,

To the magic we all once knew.

There are only hellos,

There is no goodbye,

In the living of meaning,

There is only love.

May you feel this hope,

May you know this joy

Through all that God employs,

Being our father in heaven above.

Fear and pain become illusions,

Illness a mere distraction,

For the truth of reality,

Is that there is only love.
