Love is…

More than holding hands

And feeling good

When everything seems rosy

It is being there

For your partner

When times are tough

When you don’t feel like holding hands

And he or she has irritated you

And there is no job

And the dishes aren’t done

When the wind blows so hard your roof ends up in the next county

And it seems like you’d rather sleep alone

Than deal with the pain

Yes love is more

Than feeling good!

It is persistence through all of life.
