i don't like when people refer to love as mood
if that were so
i'd fall out of lovewith the changing of my attitude
and if the heart of love changes like the weather
is there ever any point in saying you're together
if a lover is only a fairweather friend
then it cannot be claimed
that this love is made to withstand
until the end
you could say the end is when its over
but what good would that do
there lies in that no promise or hope
that i won't wake up in another mood
if we were left to our own advances
there surely would be no lifelong romances
based upon faithfulness
for the human heart is anything but
if we are to ever know anything about real love
we must ask of God to open wide our eyes
so that we may see beyond the cynicism
and sentiment of the occassions
so that we may see beyond the lies
and the abrasions that we've known thus far
only then can we love with a whole heart
only then can we truly love at all
only then can it rightfully be called love
until then all genders of men
will strive for this splendor
scaling mountains and asking hot dog vendors
and they will document their quests
in prayer, late night conversation and in song
simply because some have unopened eyes
doesn't mark their strivings in vain or as wrong
God implants these concepts of love
deep within our hearts and consciousnesses
and this is how we dream
of what we've never firsthand known
before we were, God was and it is He
who has shown our hearts the hints of all that can be
and that is what it is to love and how people can be free
so please don't refer to love as mood
even if you've yet to see
because if love is based solely on attitude
then our hope could never be.
