IMITATION OF LIFE


Earl Grant


what is love without the giving, 
without love you're only living an imitation, 
an imitation, of life. 
skies above in flaming color without 
love they're so much duller, 
a false creation an imitation of life. 
would the song of a lark sound half as sweet 
would the moon be as bright above. 
every day would be grey and incomplete 
without the one you love. 
lips that kiss can tell you clearly 
without this our lives are merely 
an imitation an imitation of life.
