Love Still Standing

A love with which someone has toyed—
Now broken, haunted, and annoyed:

Now I know – I realize,
Though hard to see through human eyes

A love the world has been demanding—
When gone through pain, this love still standing.

A love no evil can ever touch,
And anything asked is not too much.

Such love is rare, so hard to find—
Most love, when hurt, is left behind.

But, Lord, I want an understanding
Of this love – this love still standing.
