Love Is

Love is: The old man who still buys flowers for his wife.
And reminds her everyday she is his favourite part of life.


Love is: The homeless man on the street in the bitter cold,
Covering his dog with his jacket and keeping him consoled. 


Love is: The daughter at the bedside of her dying father,
Who quit her job to be with him since the start of his cancer. 


Love is: The little boy hugging his widowed granddad tight,
Who spends most of his days with him, giving him hope in his plight.
