HWO DO YOU KNOW

One day a son came to his father saying,

“Father, there’s something I’ve been thinking of…

How do you know you’ve found the one you’ve been looking for?

How do yo know when it’s love?”

 

“I asked your grandfather this same question.” His father said.

“hen I was no older than you…

and the answer he gave to me that day

is the answer I now share with you”.

 

“When saying her name makes you smile.

When that smile lasts all the day long.

When the sound of her voice is music to your ears

When her words become your love songs.”

 

“When you realize her hopes and her dreams

and your hopes and dreams are the same.”

When the sun and the clouds and the moon remind you of her

when the wind and breeze echo her name.

 

Or:

 

When saying his name makes you smile

When that smile lasts all the day long…

When the sound of his voice is music to your ears

When his words become your love songs.

 

When you realize his hopes and his dreams

and your hopes and dreams are the same…

When the sun and the clouds and the moon remind you of him

when the wind and breeze echo his name.

 

And there came a day when the father sighed

as he looked out his window and grinned

for he noticed the smile on his son’s face

as he was turning his ears to the wind.
