Love, a many splendid thing

By:

P Thompson

To know love is to see the right
carried out in time of fear
by many who care.

To know love is to realise
Loved ones are treasures we
hold most dear.

To know love is to do
all that we can to help and
assist our fellow man.

To know love is to fight a
good fight day and night
to battle for those
When the time is right.

To know love is to
understand
that this makes us
And we are love.
