Love Like A Chameleon

Patricia Edwin 1977 (Gaborone)



It sure is like a chameleon;Looks alike a million
Sounds like a zillion;It sure is a chameleon

Staring into space
Wondering if you'll ever find it
And then you find it
You see it;You live it
You have it;You feel it
You can almost touch it

It sure is chameleon;Looks alike a million
Sounds like a zillion;It sure is a chameleon

Then, poof! Its gone
Woof! Like a little puppy in pain
I'm little bumpy you say
Is it gone
Or has it just changed color?

It sure is a chameleon;Looks alike a million
Sounds like a zillion;It is a chameleon
