That's The Story Of...
 
Love is more than a four letter word to abuse,
more than an abstract term prone to confuse.

It greatly depends on your point of view
as to what the word 'love' means to you.

If you have lust foremost in your brain
you'll transform it into meaning profane.

If tennis be your favourite sport
to you it will be a score of naught.

If motherly love is all you know,
you are very young and have far to go.

The love of a friend is quite unique,
you know that they care without having to speak.

But to love your God is the greatest of all,
when he beckons please, will you answer the call.

How foolish to ignore him, it will bring you only strife.
Answer when he calls, you will gain eternal life.

For God so loved the world
that he gave His only begotten son

to the end that all who believe in Him
should not perish

but have everlasting life.
John 3:16
