Best to choose love

by royowen

A swap quatrain

If we choose love we'll never lose,
it's like calm seas, an ocean cruise.
It's not below, It's from above.
We'll never lose if we choose love.

As time will move it changes shape,
(the moon on high the months doth ape)
Like rhyming songs stay rhythm's groove,
it changes shape, as time will move.

Love won't betray, it will not turn,
it can't grow cold, for lust won't yearn,
Though circumstance will have its say,
it will not turn, love won't betray.

it will not change its will or mind,
it is not shallow, is not blind.
True love forgives, it is not strange,
its will or mind it will not change.

Love is patient and kind; love )does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant  or rude.
