Mystery Love

Love is a mystery for it is of God,
true love's a gift from God and thus is given,
as mystery, love's still normal, not so odd,
as gift, love's natural and other-driven.
God does not take, so mostly love's not taken,
love's not just for a part, it makes us whole,
love does not leave and leave loved one forsaken,
love leaves a heart and leaves behind a soul.
Eternal God does not just come and go,
true love's from God and so will last the same,
true love must be for real, not just for show,
love cannot go by any other name.
Though mystery, God tells us enough of love,
love comes from God and must end up above.
