Lovein Time
Love in Time
Shining stars guide a love in time all the while the pendulum swings.
Love does bloom with the melting of snow within an early spring.
Lion cubs frolic upon the ground while birds fly and robins sing.
Man will test as women will choose just what their marriage will bring.
While the gambler of love has nothing to lose as he offers her a ring,
So the gift of time within a heart can be the greatest of all things.
While the lining stars eclipse the sun and straddle a bright full moon,
A heart in love must flourish in life as violinist must play a tune.
When an open heart listens to a precious love still needing to be won,
It feels no different than a mother's eternal love for a newborn son.
The bond between husband and wife is faith that endures for true love's sake;
So line your stars in a love of time, as dreams you begin to make.
