Stages of Love

an ice cream float 
shared by two 
a heart shaped note 
from me to you 
the situation illustrated above 
is simply one of puppy love 


floral corsage for the dance 
stars in the couples eyes 
a stolen kiss drips with romance 
a lover often speaks in sighs 
the scenario expressed above 
is simply one of true love 

a ring to symbolize unity 
when man and woman become one 
and form a new family 
together bound not to come undone 
the event described above 
is simply one of committed love 

money is tight and sickness may rise 
age settles in and grumbling can start 
still they comfort each other through their cries 
a seasoned love never tears apart 
the beautiful union mentioned above 
is absolutely unconditional love
