True Love

True love is a sacred flame

That burns eternally

and none can dim its special glow

or change its destiny.

True love speaks in tender tones

and hears with gentle ear.

True love gives with open heart

and true love conquers fear.

True love makes no harsh demands

It neither rules nor binds,

and true love holds with gentle hands

The hearts that it entwines.
