Give me that warm feeling,
That makes me believe again.
Give me that soft answer,
The kind you gave me way back when.

That brightens the sky again.

And encouragement now and then.

Bury ambition and guile!
Unfurl those lovely banners
Of virtue and laughter and style!
Give me that warm feeling,
Take off that impersonal glove.
Remember, remember we're dealing
With that fair and rare thing called love! ~ Alec Wilder
