Poem

Love Defined

What is love, but an emotion,

So strong and so pure,

That nurtured and shared with another

All tests it will endure?

What is love, but a force

To bring the mighty low,

With the strength to shame the mountains

And halt time’s ceaseless flow?

What is love, but a triumph,

A glorious goal attained,

The union of two souls, two hearts

A bond the angels have ordained?

What is love, but a champion,

To cast the tyrant from his throne,

And raise the flag of truth and peace,

And fear of death o’erthrow?

What is love, but a beacon,

To guide the wayward heart,

A blazing light upon the shoals

That dash cherished dreams apart?

And what is love, but forever,

Eternal and sincere,

A flame that through wax and wane

Will outlive life’s brief years?

So I’ll tell it on the mountaintops,

In all places high and low,

That love for you is my reason to be,

And will never break or bow.

In this activity I recited this poem and I feel so strange because memorize it was a little bit harder jajaaja but I search the poem on ineternet and I tried many many times because I always made mistakes and I had to do again. The pronuntiation was good.

** REFLECTION:
I was frustrated at the begining because I made a lot of mistakes and I had to do a lot of times. But at the end, I was so proud of me because I could do it and my record was great. I have to practice more my speaking skills.
