WHEN LOVE'S RIGHT
to Kathleen V. [Kat] Casey Tester Erwin
07/08/1915-03/31/2007

I speak only one language,
Don't claim to know everything;
Can't predict one tomorrow
But, I know what love can bring.
Love's our greatest emotion,
It will bring you to your knees;
Love's the thrill of a lifetime
And it makes you want to please.
At our request, God can send
The love of our life to us;
He will choose one pure in heart,
One absolutely righteous.
God responds to sighs and tears,
He interprets them as prayer;
Even murmurs and longings,
Whisper to Him that you care.
Love can swim a raging sea
Or sprout wings and soar in flight;
Love moves towering mountains,
Love has power when love's right.
