Love is a Decision

Nancy Rodriquez 1965 (Temple)



Love is a Decision
By Nancy Rodriquez

If you have not realized it by now,
love is a decision one makes,
and two hearts can find each other somehow,
and can repair their mistakes,
A love as ours never fades,
it is like a magnet stuck until further needed,
to remind us to be best believing,
in the power we have within,
and not change according to the wind,
I may not be a supermodel,
with a tiny skirt to chase,
I may have scars that seem awful,
and I still want your embrace,
once a person tastes the beauty of being in love,
a broken heart screams to find it again,
in hopes of earning back the trust,
and laying to rest the pain,
Love is a decision the heart makes,
even when it is not received,
As sure as we can grow in our faith,
Jesus is the best example in which to believe.
