Four Letter Word

It's just a small four letter word
With a meaning oh so deep
You can feel it when your wide awake
Or when your sound asleep

Sometimes it makes you jump for joy
Sometimes it makes you sad
You can feel it when a baby's born
Or for your Mom and Dad

For your brothers and your sisters
For that old dog in the yard
For your Grandma and your Grandpa
When you get a birthday card

For that person standing by your side
On the day you say I do
For the children that you have in life
It turns cloudy skies to blue

I can't explain just what it means
Must have come from up above
It's just a small four letter word
That we all know as "Love"
