Love Is a Gift That We Give and Take

Oscar Auliq-Ice 1994 (Port Elizabeth)



Love, a word so simple and yet so grand
A feeling that takes hold of our hearts and hands
It sweeps us off our feet and takes us high
It fills our world with colors we can't deny

Love is a flame that never fades
A light that shines through life's dark shades
It warms our souls and gives us hope
It teaches us how to trust and cope

Love is a journey that we embark
With every beat of our hearts it sparks
It takes us on a ride that we can't resist
A rollercoaster of emotions that persist

Love is a language that needs no words
It's a symphony that can be heard
It's a dance that we share in the night
A moment that feels so pure and right

Love is a gift that we give and take
It's the reason our hearts awake
It's the bond that ties us together
A love that lasts forever and ever

So cherish the love that you have found
Let it grow and spread all around
Let it fill your heart with joy and grace
And let it shine upon your face.
