just one kiss

some things find greatness
in diversity and change
but there's one thing that
should always be the same

let it be consistent,
true from day to day
no matter what comes,
no matter what they say

kiss me with the one kiss,
the one and only one
don't change it for change
or make it different just for fun

it's good for tender gratitude,
for blessing and for love
it's the kiss I welcome,
one I am never afraid of

it's fun, and strong, and tender
playful, laboring, free
it's one I'll always remember
and it's the one kiss for me

greet me every morning
with a welcome just like this,
in the evening transforming
the night with just one kiss
