LOVE IS THE COMMITMENT TO LOVE

They ask me what is love...

Let me tell you what is love!

It is boarding a plane alone...

Leaving every known face behind!

Love is to uphold a father's word...

Given on your behalf, by your own will!

Love is a promise to yourself...

To fulfill each prayer in mother's heart!

Love is that look in a brother's eye..

As he says the final goodbye!

Love is that suppressed cry...

On a sister's lips when she hugs!

Love is the wave of all those hands...

When boarding that plane alone!

Love is leaving for a foreign land...

Love is loving a person unknown...

Love is putting your trust in faith...

Leaving a world for this one man...

Owning his honor, name and pride...

Love is the commitment to that love...

Love is leaving when your heart wants to stay...

Love is staying when all you wanted was to leave...

Love is smiling in the streaming tears...

It's learning every shortcoming and fault...

And kissing it full, on the lips, with a grin!

Love is boarding that plane alone...

Love is never looking back with remorse...

Love is holding hands for life.
