How do you say

How do you say I love you

getting through your days

Is it a kiss on the lips in the morning

Is it a coffee on the deck

Is it in helping do the shopping

or confiding when you feel like a wreck

Is it in the gift of a beautiful red rose

or chocolate, this wins their heart

Is it helping to juggle the kids daily program

or in even knowing where to start

Love is blind, it's true they say

But of course that dont mean a thing

We all know best and as it finds us

All we can do is submit and pick out a ring

Is it happily chatting on for hours

In awe of what is said

Is it helping to clean up soiled sheets

when the kids have wet the bed

Is it spending your time wondering

Just what is in their mind

Is it crying with them or helping them out when they are in a bind

Would it be holding hands as we walk down the street

Is it in giving their mother a kiss on the cheek the very first time we meet

Do you find it sitting silent, as they read their awesome book

or watching them try on clothes after they asked you to take a look

Do we find it in a sunset view as we drive to and fro

Is it in answering all the questions that they really want to know

Is it in their eyes so blue, as they look into your soul

Is it in understanding it is them with whom you want to grow old

Is it in the honour and respect you give them

or keeping the smile upon their face

Is it playing tag in a field or watching them win the race

Is it in keeping it so simple by helping with the daily grind

Opening the door and saying thank you for being oh so kind

For some it is the words themselves that they need to hear

They say I love you everyday like it's a victory cheer

I think its so much deeper than words that we convey

It is in our thoughts, our very souls, spoken by our actions, the only way

Love is both happiness and sadness, endured from the start.

It is sacrificing your every breath, your soul and the tattered pieces of your heart.

When we have it, we want to ring the bells so loud

And they wrap their arms around you as you look at them so proud.
