Love Is As Love Grows
Love is as love grows
It grows when you raise children
and laugh and cry
It grows when you overlook
the beauty of a new flower
to the beauty of crushed flowers
in your memory book
As if to remember what had budded
in your youth
but is still precious as it ages
and sages
are confounded to perceive its presence
but as each day passes
you are bound by faith if by nothing else
to abide by the changing generations
that define it
Finally, Love is simple
So let us enjoy it before we grow ancient
and fail to remember because
Love is as love grows
