A man is lost in a dilemma
His love, his heart, his dearest Stella
She dances, sings, does everything
That causes men to offer ring
But there’s one knot tied in this chain
He never thought he’d love again
He was sent off, to war, you see
And it was thought, that died, had he
Stella wept when she had heard
That Adam’s dead, her life was blurred
And she spent many years in grief
But time, it heals, and turns a leaf
She wedded Mr. Donovan
He was a kindly gentleman
They raised a lovely family
Respectable as you and me
But then the unexpected came
The war was over, world was tame
Prisoners, released at last
Returning to their lives, since past
Adam came to Stella, see
And said “I’m home love, finally”
But Stella was torn in between
And did not know what love might mean
Torn and tattered, was her kind
She knew not what to do, or mind
For Donovan was wealthy, nice
But Adam held her heart in life
Upon a hill, things came to pass
Suspense had bottled and amassed
Stella knew not what to do
So off the cliff, her body, threw
Love is living, love is hate
Love we must appreciate
Love is passion, a sharpened knife
Love each second, and love this life
How the World Should Work
