What if we took
The nip out of the freeze
The heat out of the flame
The longing in the need
The dullness to the same
The smile that's in the laughter
The recognition to the name
The happy of the ever after
The challenge of the game
The beauty in the flower
The bending of the knee
The minute in the hour
The anguish in the plea
The warmth that's in the helping hand
The feeling in the gift
What if we took away this and more
What all would we have left
