Love
Don’t Let Love Lose Its Steam
A poetic cheer for my favorite things and memories.
My first love was something soft, easing its way down my throat. I also loved my baby baths, My grandma taught me how to float.
I loved my first hat I put on my head, A real straw cowboy I was, Growing up to be a big boy I also loved my first baseball glove.
Ah, baseball, my first true love. I played and worked at the game, And coaching boys how to play hard & small I thought Coach Sansone was my name.
When I was in kindergarten, I was smitten by a Lucinda, Then, in second grade, I met Renee with a smile as big as a picture window.
Except for my great dog, Magic As I grew older, love started to fade I had no one I could count on, All alone, imaginary pals I made.
Even with all the hurts Rains of pain, years of tears. Eventually, I turned back to love And became a champion with my cheers.
Love is more than romance, More than sex and dating apps Love is for all people, Even cars and taking naps.
If you love something of yours Whether a habit or even a dream, Love it the way you want to Don’t let love lose its steam.
