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.
