Love of the flesh without hearts being involved
Has never on earth any unions resolved
Gives a depth to our lives which can ne’er be erased
Providing succour to all who succumb to it´s embrace

It´s the reason we strive to make happy our mates
Meaning partners and family and friends who relate
To this feeling so strong it can make you feel weak
With emotions which threaten to lessen our sleep

The food for our spirits, the meaning of life
Without which we would shrivel and die deep inside
Our main sustenance when we are faced with our trials
Wraps us gently as arms round a motherless child

It´s the strength we rely on when around us is chaos
That produces in humans natural kindness and pathos
Raising hope for the future of life on our planet
With love as the basis for all who are in it
