What Is It

Love is a candle burning bright through the darkness
Love is a word whispered quietly when nobody else is around
Love is a ring, held so delicately as he contemplates the meaning of the word
Love is a child, held so gently in the arms of a first time father
Love is a smile from one to another
Love is true happiness
Love is time spent together
Love is the sparkle in his eyes
Love is the embrace shared by two who honestly understand one another
Love is taking that first deep breath after breaking the surface
Love is that deep feeling when you know everything is going to be alright
