Love is like an ornament, br For if it is left neglected br It shall just gather dust br Upon the shelf. br br Now and again br You pick it up, br And look at it br For a little while. br br And as you hold it br Within your hands, br Try to ignore br All of its little imperfections. br br For it is better to have it br Slightly damaged, br Rather than to be without it br Or broken into a thousand pieces. br br Then you should dust it off br Until it shines once more, br And put it back upon display br For everyone to see.
