Love Is In The Air

At 5 years

Pocketful of candies, with you she is willing to share,

Love is in the air

10 years

She gives a gift on your birthday and sweetens your mouth with an Éclair,

Love is . . . . . . . . .

Teens

A glimpse of her makes you crazy but telling her this you can’t dare,

Love is . . . . . . . . .

Twenties

Studying in a library she appears beside you from nowhere,

Love is . . . . . . . . .

Thirties

Holding your first-born in your lap,

You say, “He looks just like you, my dear”

Love is . . . . . . . . .

Forties

You ask her for a dance in a party,

Juggling your heart with her eyes

She gives you a naughty stare,

Love is . . . . . . . . .

Fifties

Dressed for a party you tell her, “You still look thirty, I swear”

Love is . . . . . . . . .

Sixties

As you lie sick in bed,

She’s always around you to take care,

Love is . . . . . . . . .

Seventies

With your grandchildren all around,

You hold her hand and thank God with a prayer.

Love is . . . . . . . . .

Eighties

She takes you for a stroll on a wheelchair,

Love is . . . . . . . . .

Remembering you with tears in her eyes, playing some old song on a CD player,

Love is . . . . . . . . .

Love is here, Love is there, Love is everywhere,

Love was, Love is,

Love will always be in the air.
