The grandest love I’ve ever known
I thought was love I had outgrown
For life moved on and other days
Brought love again in other ways

The grandest love I’ve ever lost
Was at a piercing, brutal cost
But life soon teaches in the end
The heart will live, and love again

The grandest love was buried deep
In wells of sorrow, dark and steep
But in the end what I recall
Is love, the grandest of them all

The only way to see it, my friend...sorrowfully the road is longer for some than others from dark to light again...it's for them such words as these are truly important....

My but you are getting so introspective.  I think it is about time we get out your jeans, and baseball cap, and have some "girl fun."

On a serious note, and don't you tell anyone, I feel the same way these days.  The older you get you realize where the source of love really is dontca Lizzie?
