THE MATHEMATICS OF LOVE
History is like a shed
We can shelter in
When present life is tough,
And the future
Doesn’t look up to much, either.
Mathematics is like a shed
We can shelter in
When nothing in our life adds up,
And the sum of love
Equals a big fat nothing
Hope is like a shed
We can shelter in,
For Hope is always at home
With the kettle on.
This is a good shed to live in.
The mathematics of love
Are always the same.
Love plus love equals love,
Until the sum of love adds up
To hope for us all.
Children first.
