What is Love?

Freestyle poem... inspired by Maw2's comment...

Love..oh what is love?
We can only guess
Love is in the air, says she...
Can I catch it? I ask...
It sure tastes good, while it lasts
Says she...

Oh well, I sure would like to taste it,
even for a brief moment
Says I...I've "tasted" it many many times be4
But ended up feeling disappointed
Cuz of my oh-so-high expectations, probably?

But I won't settle for less...
Cuz I know, there's a pot of gold at the end of my rainbow
And I'll only settle for the best (in my opinion)...
Or walk away empty handed...
With a wide smile on my face.

No I'm not in a hurry
And no, I don't feel I have to reach that pot of gold
At the end of my rainbow
Cuz I'll only settle for the best
Or walk away empty handed
With the widest smile on my face

Cuz I'll be happy and blessed either way
And either way, I win
Cuz I've tasted life:
I've tasted God's miracles
I've tasted mercy
I've tasted grace
I've tasted sorrow
I've tasted joy
And I've tasted compassion
And they're all worth living for!

So I'm gonna aim for the end of my rainbow
And if there's no pot of gold...
Oh well, at least I made the journey
And the journey is all that matters
