Analysis of LOVE IS...

Sheryl Parker 1969 (Huntington, IN)



Love is gentle, love is kind
love will last thru all of time
Love is tender, love is true
and all my love belongs to you
Love is patient, love is sweet
only your love makes me complete
Love is brazen, love is strong
love will help us carry on
Love is felt, love is smitten
love is the best gift we're given
Love is honored, love is cherished
love is what will make our marriage
Love is tried, love is tested
and love is always our best weapon
Love is fought, love is won
and my love belongs to only one
