Love Circle

I wish that for an hour

Again I could be

Five. Or perhaps four,

Or maybe even three.

I'd crawl up in your lap,

Safe and snug and warm,

And take a little nap

In your loving arms.

But now that I'm grown up,

And now that I'm a mom,

I'll do what time allows

With this dear child of my own.

I'll take him in my lap,

Safe and snug and warm,

And he'll take a little nap

In my loving arms.

Love is like a circle:

We go around the bend;

We grow a little older;

But the love, it never ends.
