The Daily Boost #479
Let's give ourselves to love
“Love is born in fire; it's planted like a seed.
Love can't give you everything, but it gives you what you need.
Love comes when you're ready, love comes when you're afraid;
It'll be your greatest teacher, the best friend you have made.”
(My thanks to Daphne Tse & the Kaua’i Ohana Band.)

Hi Phyllis,
This wonderful song has been covered by many singers and bands, including the group you feature in this post. But I can't find even a trace of acknowledgement from the band, the singer, in your post, or on the YouTube page that the original music and lyrics of "Give Yourself to Love" were actually composed by the late singer-songwriter Kate Wolf. It is one of the greatest songs ever — a gift from a soul too soon gone from this world — and truly deserves continuing and accurate recognition of its real creator. Thanks!
