The Gift You Already Have

Everyone needs it.
Everyone has it.
Everyone is happy when they feel it.
It keeps you warm.
It cools you down.
It makes you happy.
It makes you sad.
It brings out every emotion.
It can bring heartache to a stop.
It can bring on heartbreak.
It can drive people crazy.
It can cause them to do anything.
It can make you live forever.
It can kill you.
It can cause problems.
It can solve problems.
It can't be expressed in words.
It can't always be expressed with body language.
It can make people more understanding.
It can cause trust.
It can break trust.
It can cause hope.
It can deprive you of hope.
This is a part of you.
This is something that no symbol can prove its strength.
This is love.
