Math Love Poem by Jim Yerman

When your heart is filled with happiness
When your planets all align
I put my arms around you
and half your joy...is mine.

When my heart is filled with sorrow
When dark clouds shower me with rain
You put my arms around me
and you absorb...half my pain.

How is it my arms can feel half your joy
and half my pain yours can console?
It's simple...
When we put them around each other
Our two halves make a whole.
