What is Love
Anna Smith - Lind High School, 1993
What is love? Asks the child untouched What is love? Asks the blossoming soul What is love? Asks the youth enlightened What is love? Asks the united one What is love? Asks the furrowed face What is love? I cannot explainWhose mother's hand he clutched
His tender heart knows only Trust
Feels only love, knows not of Lust.
Questioning her life's role
Struggling to separate
Infatuation from love's fate.
Remembering passion heightened
Wondering if is was an act of Love
Or if not approved by those Above
Whose ring reflects the golden Sun
Hoping it will last forever
That they will always remain Together
Moving at a withering pace
"It has remained all around me.
To its treasure I've not found The key."
It includes extremes of Happiness and pain
I will never understand love's Many hues
