The Meaning of Life

What am I, you ask?

I come in abundance when I am freely given

But I  whither away when I am withheld.

I grow beyond space and time when I am true

But I shrink to nothingness when I am not.

I light up the world with colour and light

I warm up your heart and feed your soul.

I am what everyone yearns for, searches for,

Yet fears losing.

Some say the risk of finding me is too great,

For I am difficult to keep.

But there in itself lies the risk.

For without finding me, life is not worth its moments.

Find me, nourish me, respect me, keep me.

Let me guide the way for you.

All you need to do is accept me and where others fail to do so,

Teach them, forgive them but do not let me go. 

Hold my hand and I will keep your heart and path alight.

With this light you will never lose your way.

I am Love.
