Love is a word
That I thought was the key
To happiness, life and beauty
But it’s so much more.
Five years old
“I love you Daddy”
Because you tuck me in
And keep me safe.
Twelve years old
Says, “I love this band”
Its ‘cool’, it’s new and different.
But you’re only a child,
Sixteen years old
Now, “I love this boy”
He makes me feel special,
And loved, and wanted.
But what do I know of love?
It’s a sacrifice, a dream, its work.
Don’t fall for a naïve love.
Find a love that’s still alive at eighty-five.
