How Precious Is Love

Love. How precious is it?
Babies die from lack of it.
Children crave it more than food.
Dogs epitomize it, named after God.

Love.
It is the key to bringing babies to earth.
Even if a child is not created in an attitude of love,
By the time they get here, a mother has usually started to love them.
Hopefully, because babies know, and unloved babies die.

Love. Precious love. More precious than gold, silver, or anything tangible you can hold in your hand
Because love is held in your soul, way down deep in the recesses of your heart folds. 
Love which is more important than air or water or food, is the most precious gift of all.
This is the reason we choose to come to earth, to teach others how to love.
We cannot teach anyone how to do anything without love.
It is the universal truth, and the best teacher of all.
Love.  Precious love.

I got mixed up on Line's contest and mistook the word life for Love, which is how this poem happened, my friend.
