Analysis of The Power of Love

Pierre G Avila 1984 (Orange Walk Town)



To contradict the power of love is ludicrous.
Trying to manifest the intensity of love is far beyond human reach
Unless expressive truthfulness is obtained.
At time unfounded love might deceive you,
Or you may deceive yourself with skepticism about true love.
Some impulsively fall in love too easily,
While others strive for eternity to find their one true love.
Pure love, if sought, will always be unveiled
No matter how insignificant or invalid one feels.

The power of love is inexorable.
For love is the essence of survival.
Love may seem inept to the incredulously ignorant
Who think that love is insignificant or meaningless.
Yet, love is a gift hibernating inside
Waiting for the precise time to blossom into happiness.
One thing is certain, above all else, with patience
Love is definitely God's greatest gift to all.
