"Love, the Sweetest Gift"



Of all the things that life can bring,
Love is the sweetest, gentlest thing.
It starts as a seed, so small and true,
And blossoms into something new.

Love is patient, love is kind,
It's the ember that sparks the mind.
It warms the heart and soothes the soul,
And makes our broken pieces whole.

It's the laughter shared in quiet nights,
The comfort found in simple sights,
The gentle touch of hand to cheek,
And the words we long to speak.

It's the moments that we hold so dear,
The memories that will last for years.
It's the feeling that we can't ignore,
And the reason why we're searching for more.

Love is the sun on a cloudy day,
The hope that helps us find our way,
The trust we place in someone else,
And the peace that comes when we're ourselves.

So when you find that special one,
Hold them tight and don't let go.
For love is the greatest gift of all,
And worth more than anything we know.
