Can love

Can Love


Can love be wider than the shore
Or deeper than the sea
Is it brighter than the shining moon
That glows incessantly
Can love be stronger than the tide
That rages with such ease
And can it be so gentle
As a summer morning breeze

Can love be warmer than the sun
Or a fire raging so
Is it stronger than the hardest stone
That was laid, so long ago
Can love be sweeter than the scent
Of flowers in the spring
And can it almost always set
The coldest heart to sing

Can love span all the universe
Or reach into our soul
Is it with us when we live and die
To make us, forever whole
Can love be each and everything
To determine what will be
And can it stand the test of time
For all eternity

Can love be autumn colours
Or the purest winter snow
Is it flowers in the springtime
With an evening summer glow
Can love be but the greatest truth
To stand forever tall
And can it be so perfect as
The greatest gift of all
