Love

Love, what is love? It means so much
To many it might be the love of a child
the joy of seeing them smiling at you
with happiness brought about by
reaching a goal fully pleased with themself
as they show you the badge or prize they won.

to others it might be a kind word or action
they can relate to by winning your approval.
so many different ways love can be shown
there's love of a special place you hold dear.
maybe where something fantastic happened
like an engagement to someone you love

The one who won your heart oh so long ago
who you married and raised your family with.
now that was a time so precious that tears form 
in your eyes as you think about all of them
And you realise how lucky you are to have
them and their love sharing your life.

Love means so much in different ways
no two ways are the same each is special
so when you go to bed give thanks to god
remembering that you owe it all to him
and live out your life in ways that honour
him for with his blessing you are who
you are and always will be

Dear Shadow, Your poem beautifully captures the multifaceted nature of love and how it manifests in various forms in our lives. From the love of a child's smile to the deep bond with a lifelong partner, your words are filled with authenticity and warmth. It's to count our blessings and to live our lives with purpose and gratitude. I loved your heartfelt words. - Blessings, My Friend, Daniel
