Love
and never count the cost,
never seek for reward.
Simply love for love's sake
because you know it is love that makes the world go round,
it is love that answers all problems,
love that heals all wounds and suffering.

Love starts in your heart,
and goes out from there
into the lives of all those around you
and out into the world.

Never stifle love;
let it flow.
Let it flow.

You can never give too much love,
so do not be afraid
and try to withdraw the love flow
even when you are rebuffed.
When this happens
it is easy to close up your hearts
and withdraw
for fear of being hurt.
Do not do this;
it will only make you hard and brittle
and in that state
you will never be able to help another soul
for no one is drawn to someone with a hard unloving heart.

Use wisdom and understanding in conjunction with love
and in this way you will keep a perfect balance.

The primary lesson of life is to learn to love;
waste no time
and learn that lesson quickly.
