The Gift of Lasting Love
Helen Steiner Rice

Love is much more than a tender caress
and more than bright hours of gay happiness,

For lasting love is made up of sharing
both hours that are "joyous" and also "despairing" . . .

It's made up of patience and deep understanding
and never of selfish and stubborn demanding,

It's made up of climbing the steep hills together
and facing with courage life's stormiest weather . . .

And nothing on earth or in heaven can part
a love that has grown to be part of the heart,

And just like the sun and the stars and the sea,
this love will go on through eternity---

For "true love" lives on when earthly things die,
for it's part of the spirit that soars to the "sky."
