Finding Meaning

We seek it from the day we're born
And feel it from our bed so warm
To find out what it's all about
To always know yet always doubt
We search for it in our spare time
And miss it when it's left behind
It contradicts our simple lives
Invigorates us when it thrives
It brings us joy it brings us rage
It makes us seldom show our age
We fight and fight to keep it straight
You are my love - You are my mate
It's more complex than you'd surmise
Too complex to realize
Though on the surface it's absurd
Love is the other four-letter word
Love inspires the good and bad
Love invokes both happy and sad
There's one way in and one way out
And love is what it's all about
