Analysis of Love Life
If I would love life
I must have the goal to cast my heart and soul
If I would love life
I must have the style to share my joy and smile
If I would love life
I must have the light to lift my gloom and night
If I would love life
I must have the grace to find my path and place
If I would love life
I must have the skill to use my strength and will
If I would love life
I must have the clout to face my fear and doubt
If I would love life
I must have the peace to grant my tie and lease
If I would love life
I must have the time to tend my tone and prime
If I would love life
I must have the bend to keep my vow and trend
