To have love is to have the world
\nBy some men it is said
\nBut what when you lose it
\nAnd the passion is dead
\nAnd yet the person you desire
\nIs all but dead to you
\nYou have the world but not your beloved
\nWhat then do you do?
\nSo he is poor man who has it
\nHis heart open unfurled
\nAnd believes that it is true
\nTo have love is to have the world…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
