Love isn’t one thing
And if the stars align
And the gods are kind
It can be everything

I have lived deep
inside its embrace
For almost half a century
So its features are familiar

And my son and daughter
it’s written on your faces
And shines from you
Like a sunrise on the sea

The secret that I’ve learned
as the wick of life’s candle burned
Was to put your beloved first

And if you both
With every fiber of your being
Help each other
To reach their hearts desire
To stretch, to grow and become
All that they aspire

I promise you that
You will be as grateful as I
That love found you two
And swept you and kept you
Deep in its embrace.

Love isn’t one thing
And if the stars align
And the gods are kind
It can be everything
