Love Is Like

Love is like hitching a ride
On a star on a summer's night
Or the fresh smell of a dozen red roses
A flock of bluebirds in flight

A kiss on the cheek of a newborn babe
The first snowfall of winter
Children's laughter at play in a park
Love words softly whispered

Love is like the sun on your skin
As you lay side by side on the sand
A cooling breeze on a warm summer day
A shade tree so tall, so grand

Love is like the soft trembling voice
Of a little old man walking by
As he wishes you have a very good day
With a smile and a twinkling eye

The gentle sound of some soft melodies
As the sun sinks slowly in the west
That final glimpse as day turns to dusk
Contentment deep in your chest

All these things and so very much more
Describe an all-encompassing love
No other feeling in our human emotions
Can give your heart such a shove
