‘’LOVE IS ALL THAT GROWS!’’

Love comes in many forms

Still why is love so scarce?

While dealing with wordly norms,

Yet Love is so sparse!

Love is finding a soothing peace,

While battling the world outside,

The pain along with it does never cease,

But love is always a joyride.

Love will never end,

But if you don’t let it grow,

It will be like a fading trend,

Whose sales tend to be low.

Love never rests in one place,

Like the river it should flow

It should be spread by God’s grace

Spreading from head to toe.

Agnita Joy, GNM Intern student
