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 blue birds in flight

A kiss on the cheek of a newborn babe

Love words softly whispered

Children's laughter at play in the park

The first snowfall of winter

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
