A Message of Love

Love is like a plant that grows into a lovely flower from the sunshine of a smile, a tender touch or an unspoken word, and is given water and nourished by the tears of joy and sorrow Love is the sharing of life with all its hopes and dreams, joys and heartaches, successes and failures Love is trust and faith and confidence, and the beating of hearts together as one. It is knowing that no matter what the obstacles, they can be surmounted Love is resisting the temptation to run from the disappointments, it is being able to overcome the fear of loving and being loved Love is standing tall for beliefs and ideals with grace and dignity It is being able to overlook the shortcomings of the ones who are loved... No one is perfect Love is God's most precious gift and there are no forces strong enough to destroy this Love that he so freely gives
