A Question of Love

I can always count on sun to warm another day
    to surely find a way to shine and melt away the clouds
Can I count on you

I can count on twinkling stars to offer their reward
     the beauty of companionship on each and every night
Can I count on you

And when the moon in silver beam shines,
                                                  racing through the sky
Will I find that your love also find’s its way to me

And will I count the many years as they pass, one by one
sharing still the many wonders of a sparkling world
I suppose now, that’s the question,
                                               a question of love

Will love find its way? Where there's a will, I suppose. :) gw

Will love find its way ? Just like the sun and the moon, love always finds a way. This is beautiful and tender, all at the same time. Your thoughts caress softly around me. ~ Brandy

ah Mike. Humans have so many imperfections, and a treacherous heart doesn't make for counting on everyone all the time. It's a question you ask, but we don't always get the answer we want.

That is so true and exactly why the question arose. Alas, it's nearly impossible to know the answer ahead of time!!

You're right Mike, love is a gamble and hopefully the risk pays off but each side must give a 100% for loves flame to burn brightly. Tom

Excellent write! But, if one has to ask, then something is amiss, with the other or self. You got me thinking.
