Love Is

Love is-Unselfishness, caring about his or her welfare more than your own. Love is-Keeping promises, really doing so when you say you'll phone. Love is-Sensitivity, not using his or her failure's as basis for your fun. Love is-Faithfulness in every way and in everything you've done. Love is-Sacrifice, Daddy putting his family's needs foremost. Love is-Gentleness, not teaching with roughness and boast. Love is-Kindness, stopping to think before reproaching. Love is-Respect, using refinement in approaching. Love is-Mama holding her baby to her breast. Love is-Mama losing sleep and needing rest. Love is-Mama kissing hurts and holding tight. Love is-Mama protecting her young with all her might. Love is-Sticking it out through thick and thin. Love is-Being there whether lose or win. Love is not-Jealousy of your friend's success. Love is: Being first to help when he makes a mess.
