What is Love?

Love is everything good and true in life, and what enhances every living thing. Love is hearing the first cry of a child after birth. Love is the reason that a child is born. Love is the deepest emotion created besides hate; and the thin line that divides them. But love will always win. Love, from the deepest part of your being, is the most beautiful look you can give another person without speaking. It is in every joyful or heart-touching moment. Love is in every gentle touch that comes from the heart and in every whisper that you only want that special person to hear. Love is the greatest gift given to anyone and the greatest gift received. Love is also the sigh that comes naturally when you are with a special someone. Love is hard work at times but so worth the paycheck it gives. Love is watching how a child interacts so innocently with another. It is also the feeling you get when a child hugs you so tight. Love is something that can either make you or break you. It can make you the happiest or also can cause you the most sadness if taken from you. Love is the purest thing ever given to us... We can accept it or reject it, but it will remain. We decide whether to hold onto it or let it go. But without love, a life can not thrive. Love causes goosebumps or a lump in your throat when you hear a certain song. Love is the stream of tears that run down your face when you are touched by something you see or hear that you can't express in words. Love is the strongest feeling you can ever experience and give to someone or something.
Love is the center of my being; and something that I want everyone to feel. Because, if everyone can feel how I feel when I give love, they will want to share that feeling with everyone too. Love is God and God is Love. What greater love is there than that? It was his greatest commandment.
The best line I ever read, was written by my 6-year-old Granddaughter when she was 5. She said to her Mommy, “I love love; because love just feels so good”.

And that's saying a lot.
