I DARE TO LOVE

What is love, I dare to love
I love the feeling of love
I know love, it is you

I come out, younger
I brace love with my feeble bones
With a heart porrous but steady
With a soul fresh like the lilies at dawn

I dare to love
To love weakness as younger
I dare to love
A soul as brave as yours

I know the look
The disapproving wince
Eyes filled with wistful anger
But I dare to love

I know my youth
I pray to love thy soul
Until I see my youth in memory
And until death prevails.
