It only takes a moment to fall in love
But a lifetime to nourish it so it can grow
Certainly a gift from God above
These seeds of love we sow.

A smile, just listening or words of advice,
A kiss, a hug or pat on the back,
Even when you don’t want to…just being nice
With all these things there’s nothing you’ll lack.

No one said it would be easy to do
You both have to work at it every day
The ultimate reward is hearing "I love you"
When heart-felt, it fulfills you in every way.

For love to sustain over a lifetime
One has to give all things from the heart
What’s mine is yours and yours is mine
Until death do we part.
