Love is Gold
All we have is now
Tell the one you love; tell them now
Say it
"I love you"
Life is curt, do not wait
Kiss your wife
Hug your dad
Be the wick, let love glow
It's not too late
Life is love and love is gold
//
If you love them, show them
Show them now
Do it
Hold them close
Life is curt, do not wait
Hold Mum's hand when she is ill
Even in her last hour
Sit with her
Be the wick ere the dark
Good bye is hard
Yes, I know
But like a song, life will end
Be her echo
One last note
Hum a tune; let it flow
Feel her beat
From its core
And when she's gone
The song will live on
At your core; yes, it's true
The time is now
Do not wait
Omit the lies you were told
Life is love and love is gold
//
If you love, grab it now
Do not wait
Til it's too late
Grab it
Hold it
Give it
Be it
Tell the ones you love
Tell them now
Show the ones you love
Show them now
Be the wick ere the dark
Feel the beat to your core
Gift the love
Let it flow
Do not wait til toes grow cold
Cuz
Life is love and love is gold

Dedicated to and inspired by my grandson Lennox and our shared love for the song below. My grandson is two and a half years old and recently started singing the first time he heard this song. He sings the word "Shine" and drags it out, trying to mimic the artist

On Winning and Losing
Recently, the pleasant surprise of placement on the Vocal Bonus Leaderboard sent me down a rabbit hole. Now, rabbit holes are a pretty common place for me to spend time, but I don't always feel the call to write about them. To be honest, the thought of sharing some of them mortifies me.
