Love is a splendid thing,
That anyone can imagine.
It lifts you up higher in the air
If someone says to you “I love you”.

So dream on,
What have you got to lose?
You’re coming first in this race
Because someone loves you!

Run faster,
Someone’s catching up!
Don’t worry,
You have too much love in your soul.

You’re winning, you’re winning,
Nearly at the finish line,
You’ve won, you’ve won,
Now everybody loves you.

The author's comments:
I wrote this poem when I was about 10 years old and found the original hardcopy just recently. At first when I wrote it, my mother did not believe me and was convinced I had copied it from somewhere. Personally, I was inspired by love itself to have been able to write this poem.
