Human discourse cannot define love,
“Cause the mind cannot fathom the mystery,
Gestures are not enough to express it,
No, not even the roses, or the serenades.
Man abuses its purity,
He misuses and confuses its essence,
Perfect as it is, yet thirsts and suffers,
Because of imperfection, humanity weeps.
Love sees what is invisible,
It is willing to go through times of pain,
Covering up for the things left undone,
And does not turn its back on what it has started.
Love survives the bitterest hour,
It is a testimony of the love one discloses,
When strength seems to ebb away,
Love clings on to unwavering faith.
Relationships fail,
Yet it is not dark destiny’s hue,
But being oblivious of one’s sacred promise,
When one abandons the vow of an endless tomorrow.
“It takes two to tango”,
It takes two to make love grow,
It is sharing one’s whole life,
Selflessly yielding to a mutual commitment.
Love’s unexplained mystery lies here:
Two hearts that beat separately,
Begin to beat as one as they touch,
What were two become one in life and being.
How should you love your woman?
Love the fruit of her love,
How can you love your child?
Love the woman that bore him into this world.
Carry your responsibilities,
Face your commitments,
Make it your passion,
To express love’s true value.
A man’s love is a pillar; a shelter,
Against everything that you consider sour,
A woman’s love is a sure buttress,
Strengthening the weakening muscle.
Love serves with understanding,
That nobody is perfect and complete,
Love is willing to embrace one’s bad side,
It is willing to succumb to perseverance.
Love is willing to submit,
To the Lord’s divine order,
It is not a matter of overpowering,
But a sign of obedience to the design of the Lord.
Love is the reason why two people stay as one,
Trying times draw them even closer,
It’s the binding cord that holds them in each other’s embrace,
In each time as if, it’s forever.
Love indeed brings a miracle,
Whom God has joined; let no one put asunder,
For nothing can ever del
The fire in each endless embrace.
Loving is the most wonderful feeling,
No matter how steep is the journey uphill,
They reap happiness in a hundredfold,
May we all aim to love and be worthy of it.
“When a man has found a wife,
He has found a good thing in his life”,
When a woman found a good husband,
She always has someone to lift her up.
Consume your days loving your wife,
Care for your husband as you would for your eye,
In a restless world such as we have,
You only have God and yourselves.
Love so much needs a warm expression,
In each day, you must give avowal,
Yes, its language needs no interpreter,
Hearts that beat for each other understands it.
