The nature of love,
A spirit of peace,
Graceful and gentle as a dove.
Stronger than the hardest heart,
It brings together and unites,
With bonds nothing can tear apart.
Love, by its nature, grows and spreads,
The more you give, the more you have.
The more you receive, the more you want to give.
Producing for itself in increasing measure,
Perpetuating in everlasting treasure.
-Roger Deemer, 28 August 1988
