Love Recognized

Take all the sand on every beach

and put them in an hour glass,

and I’ll love you for eternity

and that would go by too fast.

Take all the stars that shine at night

and add them to the sun,

that’s how bright my love would shine

announcing we are one.

Together, the two of us are one

when apart, I feel like half,

for you give me my happiness,

my joy, my smile, my laugh.

So I make this declaration

to the angels up above,

if you hadn’t taken my hand

I would never have recognized Love.
