Love Is Not and Love Is

Love is a small big word Many times written but easily mispelled All ears can hear it All eyes can read it but few will feel it Only the special ones will understand this four letter word which makes all the difference when we walk hand in hand.

You put tender thoughts of genuine love in my mind, strength calm and caring in my heart with your sweet wisdom Charma. You can tell how much someone loves you by how their hands react to your touch...beautiful truth...J.A.B.

A lovely write, Charmaine. Love is many things....We often concentrate on the feeling aspect of it but tend to forget that it is also a principal and a decision. Few know the real meaning of love...as you wrote so well. Hope you had a great Christmas. Sending you love...

I agree with you Charm; real love must be felt and read. Very often it is given twisted interpretations, and that too makes all the difference (negatively!). Have a lovely weekend! // paul
