To make your love matter, you do not have to be a superstar,
You do not have to own a big car
To make your love matter,
You can be a simple homemaker,
And you can also be to your family, a caregiver
To make your love matter, you do not need to own a string of degrees,
You do not need to possess the 5Cs*
To make your love matter,
You can tend to the sick,
And help the old man struggling with his walking stick
To make your love matter, you do not need to be a people’s champion,
You do not need to ride a stallion
To make your love matter,
Though you live in a small hut,
You can be rich in heart
Reconcile an estranged couple,
Help someone in trouble
To make your love matter, you do not need to earn a fortune
Or always call the tune
To make your love matter,
You can bring a smile to an unhappy face,
Bring laughter to children filled with grace
Help an office colleague cope,
When he feels that there is no hope
*5Cs - cash, car, condo, credit card and country club
