The Beauty of Love

A man sees a woman

A woman, sees a man

They converse, laugh

Become curious

About each other

Could this be

The beauty of love

A man calls a woman

A woman, calls a man

They are nervous, happy

They make a date

Could this be

The beauty of love

A man comes to know a woman

A woman, comes to know a man

They exchange I love you’s

For the first of many, many times

Could this be

The beauty of love

A man wants to marry a woman

A woman, wants to marry a man

They become engaged

And exchange vows

Could this be

The beauty of love

A man and a woman

Want to start a family

They adopt two sisters

And are surprised with a third baby girl

Could this be

The beauty of love

  

A man and a woman

Raise three daughters

Allowing each

To follow their own path

Could this be

The beauty of love

A man and a woman

Look upon each other lovingly

As the years pass

And each new hardship

Makes their love stronger

Could this be

The beauty of love

A man and a woman

Count all the Anniversaries

They celebrated together

And they number forty

But they look into each other’s eyes

And see only that young bride and groom

Could this be

The beauty of love

A man and woman

Look around them

And see their three daughters

And their four grandchildren

And their beloved family members

Gathered together

To celebrate a love everlasting

And everyone present can see

This

Is the beauty of love
