The love supreme

The love supreme, unfailing, strong,
for which my heart and soul long,
this longing dwells in me from birth,-
where can I find it on earth?

Such perfect love, does it exist?
Love spreads around like a mist.
It for a season can assure,
but not forever it's secure.

All those, who to us are dear,
after a while disappear:
with promises can lovers sway
and then in selfishness betray...

Some friends can stab you in the back,
with slanderous cruel words attack,
and love of children may not last,
when they leave you in the past.

And even them, who love to death,
one day expire the last breath.
The situation looks so sad,
it can be our mum or dad!

But love that can't betray or die
is not a dream, or fake, or lie!
It does exist! It's never dull,
and no one can it annul.

It helps in our daily strife,
gives hope of eternal life.
Love that sustains every day
is in the One, to whom we pray.

For on the cross such love had proved
itself and fear of death removed,
and to the future most great
since then it opened the gate.
