All throughout your life
You’ll have things to hold onto
People, pets, places
A heart full of memories to bond to
Days from your youth
The joys of childhood
Teenage years of excitement
Maturing into adulthood
Building your own scrapbook
Turning the pages of your life
A question mark at every fork in the road
This way or that to avoid emotional strife
Then one magical day
Love appears by surprise
Mystified by a smile
Your destiny in her eyes
How can love be so bright,
And yet, not burn your heart?
Holding you captive
In endless love from the start
If you’re truly in love
You’re never really alone
The heart knows what it needs
A heart needs a home
