    About this ebook

    Words of Life celebrates love and friendship in verse and shares in the life of someone who has been through life experiences shared by so many. In a world where there is such uncertainty and chaos, the emotions expressed in these poems appear in tranquil and peaceful words of the heart. The collection has been divided into three distinct sections: Love and the Heart, Strength and Courage, and Dedication. From the joy of finding love to the agony of discovering that your beloved does not love you, the emotions that this collection explores will not soon be forgotten.

    There is Love

    Through the storm of diminishing life
    There is love
    Through the pain that cuts like a knife
    There is love
    Though there are risks you are taking
    It is the time you are making
    To create a love that will last
    A remedy to the past
    There is love

    Do not look back, erase your fear
    Hold the one you love close and near
    Do not second guess your feelings
    Hold on to your continuous reelings
    There is love

    Keep each other in your hearts safe and warm
    Always let your love whether every storm
    Repel the worrywarts and non-believers
    Together, you will be the achievers
    There is love

      Nobody really knows

      It’s a part of life that naturally occurs

      The feeling one gets when hearing those three words

      I Love You

      It’s a special feeling that you cannot control

      A bullet through your heart

      A fire in your soul

      Raging so high it gives you power

      A power so strong it makes you bold

      Enough to say those three words

      I Love You

      Those words are very special

      Meant to say to someone dear

      When you’re talking on the phone

      When you’re holding someone near

      Those are the words I want to say to you

      Those are the words I want to hear

      I love you with all my heart
