Analysis of Love
Love is a flower
That blossoms over time
It's soft and fragile
Yet strong and yielding
Glory is revealed in its softness
Power shows forth in its strength
For glory cannot be revealed in bitterness
Power and strength are lost in fear
Mercy is manifest
To those that we love
Because of our Lord
Who is our example
Hearts can easily be broken
If they do not bend in love
With careful tending love will grow
And strength will come with tenderness
