This is something every young man should learn.

He usually doesn’t find it out until the years have taken their turn.

First you fall in love with the girl who is so sweet.

It is a fall so once you’ve fallen there is no retreat.

You learn to know her day by day.

You learn to love her; come what may.

You find that you eventually fall out of love.

You begin to feel an emotion which is far above.

She becomes the one with whom you share your every thought.

If this has not happened your love goes for naught.

You find she is the source of your strength and power.

She is beside you even as you go through your darkest hour.

She is encouragement, love, tender kiss and more.

Her sleepy sigh is enough to make your soul lift and soar.

It all starts with a feeling of physical attraction.

It will grow strong enough to withstand any distraction.

The day will come when what you truly want from your love so dear

Is the knowledge she still holds you near.

This kind of love, time cannot erode.

It becomes a spiritual strength to help you carry the heaviest load.
