Love Is...
~Dedicated to those who believe in God~

*******


What is Love?
It's living, giving, caring and unselfishly sharing
with our brothers and sisters the beautiful creations of God.
It's our Father's way of giving a reason for living.
Love links woman and man, hand-in-hand, as Queen and King.
It wakes us from the sad dreams of yesterday, wipes away
tears we have cried through the years, then teaches us
happy dreams for tomorrow--void of sorrow.

Love is jumping from bed to see little children racing to the tree
on Christmas morning with smiles longer than miles on their faces.
It's hearing baby ducks quack, while nearing mama, then waddlin' behind
as she fights off hungry crows biting at their toes. Love is seeing
baby deer, feeding near, slow falling rain, and
waking from a dream of fishing in a stream catching  
speckled-mountain-trout.

Love is watching autumn leaves fall from trees, spiraling in the
breeze. It's walking on the ground as little squirrels scamper around for nuts
and such. Love is drinking coffee from our cups, seeing fuzzy pups
when they wag hello with their tails, then listen for the "come to eat bell."
It's listening to baby birds chirping in their nest, snuggling while they rest,
then growing as they sleep.

Love is sharing hugs, God's love from above with family and friends; yet,
above all others, love is loving one another. Oh, yes! That's what
love is.  So, c'mon, brothers and sisters, let's fill our pockets full.
