When We Love octavo cover

In this composition, the beautiful words of Charles Anthony Silvestri describe how the simplest actions can have profound results. Elaine's delicate melodies unfold to rich harmonies, then soar to glorious heights—reminding us that “When we love, / Simply love, / Even as we are loved, / Our weary world can be transformed.”

Tree Stump

The towering tree spreads his greening canopy
—A veil between the soil and sky—
Not in selfish vanity,
But the gentle thrush to shade and shelter.

So it is with love.

For when we love,

Simply love,

Even as we are loved,

Our weary world can be transformed.
