What is love, there are so many kinds
I know love is an emotion
How can I describe the feelings
Some very deep, shown by your devotion
There is the love for your parents
That is the unconditional one
And when they return it the same way
You know there's more to come
The love , “the in love” kind,
Is so wonderful to share
There is nothing else like this love
No feeling on earth can compare
From that love comes children
For most of us anyway
Another unconditional love you receive
Stored in your heart to stay
The love from friends is precious
There may only be just a few
But those that are loyal you will know
Their love will be true blue
Then the older love, the still “in love”
That ripens and mellows with age
Is a very special love I know
It's wonderful to reach this stage
Love continues throughout eternity
When a loved one leaves there's no end
For their spirit never leaves your heart
There's a bank of love there to spend
I am in love with life, another kind
No matter what knocks I take
For without that love of life I have
There's no difference I could make
I could go on forever,
For love is in my every dream
The stars that twinkle and the moon
are mine, enhancing my love theme
