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.
