There sits a child
with tears in his eyes,
A bolt through strongest heart
with the sound of weakest cries.
Love is a hug,
That that child gives to you,
Just to make you smile,
Although he himself is blue.

There breaks a dawn,
The brilliance of light
cascading from the heavens
to take away the night.
Love is the first sunbeam,
And the promise of new days
that creeps in through your window,
And watches doting while you wake.

There lies a memory
in the echoes of your mind,
A journey to elation,
To a joyful place in time.
Love is a stimulus
that triggers you to find
that single precious moment
in the echoes of your mind.

There beats a heart
that quickens in its pace,
That flutters in an instant
when closed in sweet embrace.
Love is you,
And the happiness you’ve brought,
And I finally understand it,
This love I’ve ever sought.
