Your love is the

argument for my existence,

lifting me out of

the despair that comes

from the thinking

that pain and suffering

is fair punishment.

 

Your love moves

beyond argument to

the realm of compassion,

in which there is every reason

not to love, and yet love

still lingers strong,

even in the face of defeat.

 

Your love ever holds on

and always remains strong,

even when evil still holds sway,

or hate seems to be the

fashion of the day.
