What is it?

What is it that we all crave to make us feel complete?
When we are free and single, we seek it when we meet
Wanting it to change our lives, hoping for solution
Willing it to cleanse our worlds riddled with pollution.
Striving for a new beginning to take us from our past
Into a brighter future where we are free at last
Away from our anxieties, our stresses and our fears
Into a world of sharing, a world of no more tears?


What is it that makes us cry when we are filled with joy?
That warms us inexplicably-affects each girl and boy
Serves us with a purpose, drives us from within
To reach out to one-another, to cherish everything?
What is it that bonds a mother to her unborn child?
That soothes the worst of tempers, turns violent into mild
Produces strange reactions, makes us question why?
Exposes all our weaknesses, often makes us cry?


Fills us with such jealousy, irrational thoughts abound
Magnifying every mood, searching all around
For any shred of evidence to prove the claims are true
Driven with such passion we search each avenue?
What is it that gives us hope when everything looks bleak?
When life has dealt some dreadful blows and we are feeling weak
When all around seems dismal, our world a heartless place
What is it that uplifts us when we look in some-ones` face?
What is it that makes all things right, when all around is wrong?


Enables us to try again, gives strength to carry on
Aids us through our troubles, conquers all our fears
Manipulates emotions from birth to latter years
Makes us caring human beings created from above?
God`s gift to all the human race – the gift of how to love.
