Love is a Glove
By Derek Cook

When we hide it, we fight it.

But it is always there, and we cannot deny it.

So we must take the chance, and watch people dance,

just hearing their voice, will decipher your choice.

this is frightening to know.

For when the tensions creep,

and the bumps become steep,

with one low blow, it will melt like the snow.

Know those who've done wrong,

can't dance to your song.

Just know your top shelf,

and that your foes need help.

When love is suppressed,

we feel depressed,

when it's laid on the table-

life couldn't seem more stable.

So keep up your fight,

and your light burning bright,

but do keep in mind, and refuse to be blind

that the ultimate goal on our earth,

is be kind.

Love is a glove,

don't use it to shove.

With the glove on your hand

it's clear in your heart,

who can play in your band.
