ANONYMOUS
Love is the power that can anchor and transform both our conflicts and our compromises, as we take firm and steady steps toward big and worthy goals. Although we've banished talk of love from our public discourse, we need to place it back where it belongs -- front and center, right alongside high standards and expectations.

You're the only love I've ever known
Just as long as you stay with me

Beyond here lies nothin'
Nothin' we can call our own
