THE LOVE THAT NEVER FAILS...

She gets angry, she gets wild
If I don’t tend her for awhile
She gets naughty when she’s loved
She’s like a prayer answered from up above

She drives me crazy with her tantrums
She reminds me to be calm
She slips out of hand, with time she runs
But she’s there with me dusk to dawn

She makes me meet new friends
Pushes me away from ones disliked
She’s not the one to follow trends
In her wisdom her beauty strikes

She is my friend, my teacher, my guide
I always cherish her with me
My feelings for her, no longer can I hide
I’m lucky just to be

She is LIFE, I’m in love with
Treat her with utmost care
She gives just one chance, don’t throw it
Take her lightly? You shouldn’t dare

Follow her heart, listen to her song
“If you love me, you’ll see just why...”
She’s been singing this all along,
“I know I look difficult, just give me a try...”

“I’ll be faithful, I’ll give you strength
Only if you promise you follow my path
Don’t be lazy, don’t repent
Don’t live on sad memories from the past”

“You were hurt by me, I had to let you know
The many times you cried
In troubled times I saw you grow
Even when your spirits seemed to have dried”

“I gave you hints to learn well
In every path you took
You turned a blind eye, I could tell
All you had to do was look"

“Now you know I’m nice to you
That ‘cos you learnt your worth
Be this way, happy and true
And stand strong even in dearth”

Now you know why I love her so
She’s the force, my drive
Reminds me that there’ll be ups and times low
But I’m so very lucky, I’m ALIVE
