Sing of Love

We sing of love and seek it all our lives.

We treasure those we love and hold on tight.

For those in whom desire for loving thrives,

Will likely see you through your darkest night.

*

Why is it, then - at times - love fades away?

How can it be that some are left alone?

When loved ones pass and we have more to say,

Can we go on, yet honor those who've flown?

*

Yes, go on seeking love at any cost.

You may just find a soulmate by and by.

Or loving friendship could restore what's lost.

I put it forth that love is worth a try.

*

So keep on loving to the bitter end.

Go on, and sing of love, my loving friend.
