Love Is White

Love is a smile, always
Its lips are red and point to the sky
Its heart is huge and always beating
It lives for life, it looks for healing
It's rather outgoing and rarely shy
It looks for tears and says please don't cry
But if required will weep not asking why
It talks on phones for hours and hours
And buys expensive useless things like flowers
And gives them to pretty girls with kisses
It writes long letters to all it misses
It goes on lovely walks to nowhere
And it goes with no one but the open air
It sings and it dances around in circles
Looks at the sky and at the clouds it stares
In wonder at life and awe in prayer
It looks to heaven its creator there
And fills my lungs with such fresh air
It gives the urge to keep on going
And presses onward ever knowing
That what comes next will help with growing
And now I know that what God is showing
That love is white and it's ever snowing
A gift from heaven it wont stop flowing
It just keeps snowing, and snowing, and snowing
And I smile, always
