Love Is

Love is
   that look caught in someone's eye
   that feeling of warmth and racing hearts
   that touch drawing one to two
   that word whispering I love you
   that bond the merges two to one.
Love is
   a mother's joyful tears at the birth of a child.
   a father's prideful boast of his child's achievements.
   a child's respect and acceptance of discipline ,
   a young adult stepping forward to independence,
   the parent letting go.
