Two Became one

Two became one

One heart, one live, one life
One home became a happy home
In that home one became four

Four hearts, four loves, four lives
Happy times, sad times, good times
Bad times – one love

Four became eight
Eight hearts, eight loves, eight lives
Happy times, sad times, tough times
Easy times – one love

Eight became fourteen
Fourteen hearts, fourteen loves, fourteen lives
Happy times, sad times, scary times,
Fun times – one love

One love multiplied into so many loves
So many hearts, so many lives, so many loves
All because of two who became one.

One love.
