Where is love?
Will I find it before I die?

I look for it in every 'You'
I look for it in every 'it'
I looked and looked and finally found it.
Love is 'I'
I want to give it till I die.

But why O why did it lie?
I wanted it from those I saw with my eye!
Now I realise it is my heart that can see;
Love will always be in me.

I can give it and recieve it;
I can increase it and then feel it;
In my heart that I always live with

Where is love? I cry..
Where is love?
Will I find it before I die?

I look for it in every 'You'
I look for it in every 'it'
I looked and looked and finally found it.
Love is 'I'
I want to give it till I die.

But why O why did it lie?
I wanted it from those I saw with my eye!
Now I realise it is my heart that can see;
Love will always be in me.

I can give it and recieve it;
I can increase it and then feel it;
In my heart that I always live with
Love is 'I' Love is 'me'

This poem reminds me of what it says in the bible about love. I love this!!!! I love the last stanza, it is like pay it forward. Unconditional selfless, LOVE ! I hope to be able to do this, to not look for the "You" but be the I , giving, without expectations. It reminds me of my love for my kids, thank you for this write.
