Love is the emotion that provides...
The definition of living...
In comparison to surviving.

When you love, you live...
With inspiration and insight;
You feel the depths of delight...
The wonders of joy, hope and faith...
The meaning of the words amazing grace.

When you survive, you live...
Without truly feeling the flow of warmth...
The intimacy and intensity of passion's touch;

You don't feel as deeply or as sweetly...
The moments of euphoria that come with Love.

When you love, you are living...
As God intended you to live...
With the sweetest touch of faith and hope...
The purest pleasure of lingering sensations...
Feelings with value, alive and aware of...
Everything that it takes to make life worthwhile.

When you survive, you are alive...
But without the fire that only thrives...
When feelings are allowed to grow wild...
Expressing themselves through instinct and insight...
Into those rooms of the heart...
Where only the deepest love flows...
Like a river... endlessly, healing and gentle...

When you survive... you are alive
When you love... you are living life.

Love is Living...
Giving from the heart
Feeling from the soul
Awakening truth...
Whispering hope...
Healing hurts...

Mysterious and Miraculous...
Love is... a medicine...
From God.
