I've seen Cupid's arrow
Pierce through a mother's heart
As with tender eyes and time
She watches her baby
Grow from the cradle to maturity.
I've seen Cupid's arrow
Stuck on a fathers biceps
As with wise words and swords
He fights for and prepares sons and daughters
For the journey through life.
I've seen Cupid's arrow
Mounted on the warriors banner
As with a lion like bravery and bullets
He heads for the trenches
To win or die for his country.
I've seen Cupid's arrow
Sailing wildly through space
Like the sensation created by young lovers
When they say sweet words to each other
And seal them with kisses.
I've seen Cupid's arrow
Bounded in the letters from my Heartcode
When in the middle of the night
She punches her keypads just to say
"I love you whichever way"
