Love Is A Great Emotion

By James Beerbower

Love is an emotion,

That runs as deep as the ocean.

Love is a great thing,

When you’re loved.

Everyone needs love,

To have happiness.

Happiness is the key of life,

It opens your heart to new things.

If I say love me,

will you love me?

Baby we all need love,

So will you love me?

Loving someone,

Will give them faith.

To keep one happy,

You should give love to one another.

When you think your alone,

You will always have someone to love

— James Beerbower, Lawrence High School junior
