They preach about love

They preach against hate

I say “I know love”

But it’s my love they hate

How can I feel

So loved from on high

When they tell me “No”

And turn with a sigh?

I say “My love is true.

Pure, patient, and kind”

My love never fails,

But they won’t change their minds.

They tell me to go,

My heart tells me to stay,

So for now I will wander

Loving whoever I may.
