VALENTINE'S DAY GAME -

CHANGER
by Douglas Raymond Rose

True Love is a real Game-Changer
It changes 'I and You" into 'WE"
I no longer put myself First
--It's now Father God and "We."

True Love changes the Scoreboard
We no more must be the one who wins;
Even in the game of Tennis, there's LOVE
---Equality is never seen as sin.

So let's pledge this Valentine's Day
To renew Love's glimmer and gleam
True Love 'covers a multitude of sins"
---And there is no 'I in T E A M.
