Love
By Roger Altenberg
June 11, 1933
One of the most beautiful
things is love.
Wherever it is God looks
down and smiles from
above.
For love is heaven even
with strife.
Love is beautiful and love
is life.
On the battlefield two
brothers may be dying,
Side by side they are lying,
Each with a tenderness for
the other,
Each with a love for one
another.
There souls now rise to
the kingdom of God,
And their bodies are buried
under the sod.
Faithful to each other they
were,
And now they are above,
And in their souls lies
that love,
And nothing can stop it,
Not even death.
For love lives on forever.
