Love Of My Life

Wallace Dean LaBenne

Many have had many tingles of romance.
Few ever discover
"great love to entrance."
Many have had many wallops of defeat.
Few ever discover
"the love victory beat."
Many have had many spits of kiss-and-tell.
Few ever discover
"love's safe citadel."
Many have had many inklings of the real.
Few ever discover
"the love that's ideal."
Many have had many waves of devotion.
Few ever discover
"love's magic-potion."
Many have had many courtships to suffice.
Few ever discover
"the love of my life."
