Love Is Love, Both Big and Small
Love can whisper, love can shout,
Love can twirl and dance about.
Love is fierce, love is bright,
Love is dark and full of night.
It hugs like blankets, warm and tight,
Or strikes like lightning, sharp, with might.
It lifts you high, it pulls you low,
It runs so fast, it moves so slow.
Love is laughter, love is pain,
Love is loss, love is gain.
It builds you up, it breaks you down,
It spins you ‘round and ‘round and ‘round!
It’s in a mother’s gentle hands,
It’s in the strength where courage stands.
It’s in the battles, loud and wild,
It’s in the soft eyes of a child.
It’s fire, water, air, and stone,
It’s feeling held when you’re alone.
It shines like gold, it fades like mist,
It’s in a hug, it’s in a fist.
Love’s a whisper, love’s a roar,
Love’s behind each slamming door.
It’s patient, reckless, kind, and cruel,
It breaks the law, it makes the rule.
But love is love, both big and small,
And love, dear friend, is worth it all.
