LOVE RENEWED

Love is like Christmas tree tinsel

You still find it after it's gone

Bobby pins, sweet perfumed notes

Ask you "What went wrong?"

Sometimes there's no answer

Each treasure strikes a chord

Memories - memorized moments

Recall mis-spoken words

Fading fumes of doubt

Give way to perfumed scenes

All give rise to something

Like the gift behind the tree

Hidden away - as something special

Was meant to save for last

Pulled out when all seems over

Brings all excitement back

Pull gently at the paper

For you know this one's the best

Excited to find inside it

That gift you once had had

Suddenly it glistens

All renewed like you'd forgot

The joy it brought the first time

And the ways you'd thanked you're God

If luck can strike good fortune

If words can all ring true

Your past becomes your present

And you find that love renewed
