Each kind of love involves a risk we take,
the child who loves her parents risks correction,
what parents do not love kids for their sake,
yet risk with discipline their child's rejection?
Who has not risked in youth a broken heart
and felt the pain of risk when love’s rejected,
or has not risked for truth the tearing apart
a friendship that could not stand being corrected?
Love is a risk enough without the sex,
to risk the heart with lust is risk too much;
a blind love goes beyond what love expects,
for true love, it’s enough for hearts to touch.
Bad risks end mostly bad, good risks can win
when love sails far above the love of sin.
