A love in verse

The Greatest Thing

The greatest thing is we are one

And with the fire of joy we glow

The worst thing – you’re unwell, must oh,

Be sadness to eclipse the sun

It seems contrasting lives we lead – 

One lifts the heart, one makes it bleed


And yet I feel, seen from afar,

We must light up the very earth

Around, so bright with joy and mirth

We shine on our good days; hurrah,

For every kiss we’ve ever shared

All loving vows we have declared!


For it is true – we in the sky

Would outshine stars – the sun defy!

Even the Beatles are passé now

And memory of Sinatra fades

On flower power they’ve pulled the shades...

Schubert

Already I’ve forgotten what you wore

Sunday, standing by the fridge; it was black,

And your arm supported the broom...
