Love it is a wondrous thing
but a "terrible beauty" to behold
for it may turn a saint into a sinner
or cause a sinner to be whole.

It may break a strong man's heart
or make a coward into a brave man
it can raise you to the greatest of heights
and then dash you down again.

Love can fill your soul with glory
or fill your heart with pain
but it also has the great power
to heal that hurt again.

And it is written in the Good Book
that "The Greatest Of These Is Love"
and in truth what would we be
without a heart to love?
