Love

Love, you see, is nothing new. It's been happening to you

Every day of your life.

Baby powder on your cheeks; Measles for at least two weeks.

Mom was feeling the strife.

Muddy boots on a clean floor; A clean bandage on a sore.

Eating up home-made bread.

Grandma makes a Teddy Bear; Handle it with loving care.

And we'll call him Ol' Fred.

A new pair of high-heeled shoes. It's Dad waiting up for you

With a frown on his face.

Caring for one special man; Saving for a wedding band

Wearing Mom's wedding lace.

Love's a baby on the way. It's a lavender bouquet

Given by a young heart.

It's a visit from the kids; Showing them a Katydid

And then having to part.

Love, love, love, love, love, love, love.
