Love Is A Funny Little Feeling

For Conor and Lara

Love is a funny little feeling

It fills me up with a warmth like no other.

Their voices and laughter are like music to me

Gently kindling my heart.

As I listen to them I close my eyes

And hold on to their image tightly,

Printing them on the back of my mind.

I find pleasure in the smallest of gestures,

In the little moments we share.

They are not many - I must confess

But even so they are enough.

Enough to lighten up my spirit

And make me smile,

Bringing back the sun from behind thick clouds.
