The Way of Love
by: username erinhue at www.tolkienonline.com
With dewy eye and open heart
We seek love's pleasures at the start
Like song birds at the birth of spring
Our hearts the joys of heaven sing
And as each summer has its fall
The joys of love are not love's all
For many stretches on love's path
Are strewn with nails and broken glass
When Love charts us a thorny way
Tears flow from hearts that once were gay
For time and tide somtimes conspire
To steal from us our heart's desire
And often by some grand design
The love we cherish falls behind
So if Love's treasures you would seek
I tell you Love's not for the weak
For through Love's trials you must be strong
To stand Love's pain and brave Love's wrongs
Two hearts who passed Love's tests together
Will share a love no storm can weather
And if Love's tests you rise above
Then Love will reward you both with love.
