Love Poem by david lessard

Love is not too high a cost-
Once obtained...it's never lost -
It's been known to save a life or two -
It's better than hard cash,
there's nothing better in life to do!
(It beats a mad, impulsive dash)

Love has conquered mountains,
it's warmed the hardest heart -
It's not too late to catch it,
It's never too late to start.

I know of this real fine lady,
she has that of which I speak -
I'm in heaven when she tells me-
'I love you, ' (cheek to cheek) .

Her arms are filled with comfort,
Her lips are soft and sweet -
I find myself anxiously waiting,
until the next time that we meet.

Some laugh and call me silly,
As off to see her, I go -
There goes a fool in love they say,
But they don't know the woman that I know.

I would rather have them laughing,
and your love right by my side -
than to walk down halls of emptiness,
with no companion other than pride.

And our love will be more than plenty,
and together, we both will share -
Let the others say, whatever they want,
When they're gone, we'll still be there.

When their dreams have turned to ashes,
when their hopes have comed to naught,
Our love will still be soaring -
Our flame will still be hot!

And arm and arm together,
We'll hear the mountains sing -
We'll face today with joy,
And accept what tomorrow may bring.
