"Love is a practice '

True love is a practice, not a feeling's sway A choice we make each day, in every step of the way It's a cultivation of heart, a nurturing of soul A gentle art that makes us whole It's the patience in the morning, the kindness in the night The empathy that listens, the compassion that ignites It's the forgiveness that heals, the understanding that sets free The love that's not a feeling, but a choice we make with glee True love's not a destination, but a journey we embark A path that winds and turns, through joy and through the dark It's the practice of being present, of being true and real The love that's not a feeling, but a choice that we must feel So let us practice love, with every breath we take With every step, with every choice, for our own sake Let us cultivate the heart, and nurture the soul For true love's gentle art, makes us whole.
