Analysis of No Other Way To Love
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
It can not be bought.
Or replaced to sell sold,
For other versions of it to buy.
Neither can its genuine quality,
Be mistaken for something else.
To accept it to be just as valued.
No other way to love there is.
To feel it felt received and given.
Nothing about it can fake its worth!
There is no other way to love.
But to know it to give it.
And observe love's effectiveness.
