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 The first snowfall of winter Children's laughter at play in the 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 much more Describe a lasting true love No other feeling in human emotions Can give your heart such a shove © Jack Ellison 2015

Love is Santa coming down our Chimney, Knowing Dragon will pounce, as all of us pick him up, after Dragon got by us! It's letting us clean the soot off his face after Dragon singed his beard! It's being ready with spells to get back his beard! It's daring to give our sweet Dragon a hug, knowing his sigh will fire his toes. Love is taking offered bling from Dragon, to help pay for Santas' clothes, that Dragon's claws accidently tore. It's accepting Dragon for who he is, and coming back again!
