"Worth While"
If love were easy then it would
not be worth while,
And we would not appreciate how much
it makes our hearts smile;
As the struggle to find love and
hold it teaches us that we must
Worship the moments
we enjoy its touch;
Because once its gone all that
remains is its pain,
Until time fills the void and your
heart finds love again,
Because if love were easy then it would
not be worth while,
For as the seasons passed it would
surely grow out of style,
So as much as each of us hopes
one day love will find us
we know that its scarcity is
why we treasure it so much.
