Is love like a well-read book?
Its cover cracked and torn
Its pages shaded yellow
Faded softly worn
But when the book is opened
Its pages cannot erase
A love like that
Can never be replaced

Is love like a roller coaster?
Going up and down
Or just a Ferris wheel
Spinning you around
Or maybe a merry go round
Carnivale music sound
Or round and round just a fling
Trying to catch that golden ring

Is love like a dying wish?
I take with me alone
Life breaks in many ways
As the years have shown
Is love like a child’s poem
Innocent as the month of May
Time has taken us away
Time will lead us home
*****************************************
“Perhaps love is like the ocean
full of conflict full of change
like a fire when it’s cold outside
or thunder when it rains
if I should live forever
and all my dreams come true
My memories of love will be of you”
“Perhaps Love”
John Denver
