My love is an ocean

My love like the ocean, ebbs and flows

It dances to the tune of life.

Deep and warm, intense and powerful

Light with laughter, dark with strife

First love excitement begins with thrill

Quivering feeling, breathless voice

Fluttery tummy, wobbly legs

Knees a knocking, was this my choice?

Lasting love and then we marry

He makes you happy, makes you laugh,

Then we talk about a family

Excitement as we learn the news

Motherhood  love, so truly given

Alas, this love is not to own

But there to nurture and protect

And then set free for them to roam

Love goes full circle, fact of life

Our parents age and then they die

We grieve and then we love in memory

A new child born, we love again
