Love’s Smile

Love’s Smile
Love can be a song
You sing to let you in
It can lead you into romance
It can lead you into sin,
Love can be clear ecstasy
If you always put it first
The sweetest, fullest taste of wine
That quenches nature’s thirst,
Love can be a passion
Or simply be a fashion
It can lift you with regard
It can drop you really hard,
Love can hold you up
Love can hold you back
Love can hold you down
Or keep you right on track,
Love can be a frown
Or a whimsy, wispy gown
Love can be a smile
That can carry you a mile!
