It's Amazing

The World's greatest love song

by Paul McCartney

Maybe I'm amazed at the way you love me all the time
Maybe I'm afraid of the way I love you
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you pulled me out of time
And hung me on a line

Maybe I'm amazed at the way I really need you
Baby I'm a man maybe I'm a lonely man
Who's in the middle of something
That he doesn't really understand

Baby I'm a man and maybe you're the only woman
Who could ever help me
Baby won't you help me understand,Oooohh

Baby I'm a man, maybe I'm a lonely man
Who's in the middle of something
That he doesn't really understand

Baby I'm a man and maybe you're the only woman
Who could ever help me
Baby won't you help me understand, oohhh

Maybe I'm amazed at the way you're with me all the time
Maybe I'm afraid of the way I leave you
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you help me sing my song
Right me when I'm wrong
Maybe I’m amazed at the way I really need you



Isn't love amazing? From the smallest portion of love there is. I was watching the momma kitten with her babies this morning, keeping them all gathered, feeding them, loving them and yes love is amazing. Love comes out of nowhere like a hurricane. One moment the earth, the sky so still and the next everything is turned upside down and you can't remember when you didn't know that you needed love because it made the colors brighter, it made the day easier, the commute faster, so fast you are convinced someone fixed traffic and just forgot to tell the world.

Love should be amazing, when you want to try harder because you know someone loves you. When my son calls to tell me school is almost over yet again and I can hear that thing in his voice that wants me to be proud because love really does want to impress our hearts. Yesterday I was working on something that I wasn't sure I could finish and there was a chill in the house because I like to keep the house cold I could feel dirty white boy climb behind me in the chair, curl around and fall asleep keeping my back warm and I could hear his cat snores. Love is truly amazing. If you are unsure about love today it's time to look up Fannie Mae candies. They make a bon bon called a Trinidad. Imagine for a moment, soft sweet chocolate covered in white chocolate with little bits of toasted coconut. This could be the closest thing to love you may ever find or I have ever found especially when I'm hormonal.

Soon it will be time to plant and love will be all over the ground in the creeping Charlie, in the flowers pushing through the soil, in chirping baby birds and I wonder if we'll notice? I think I will because I miss the warm so much. It hasn't been a horrid winter. There have been moments of great clarity standing on the frozen ground surrounded by white glittering snow. I haven't been sad when it gets dark early because five o'clock fills me with such light, I am certain planes could land in the drive way and not miss their mark. I am seldom surprised by human nature anymore, these eyes have seen too much and I have been recently, so surprised. It's amazing.
