What Is Love

What is Love By Kevin L Fairbrother Love is a word expressed in so many ways It’s meaning known to those who reach out With-out fear or favor, sharing body and soul Their body language enhancing the feeling … Love can be like a new day dawning Or stormy and rough round the edges Can be walking on the beach holding hands Love is an experience, a journey with the end unknown … Love given freely with no strings attached Is warm and tender and binds with strength When given freely, love is returned With fear and intimidation there is no love … Love can be giving your time to those who are hurt The caring of the sick, the down-trodden and poor Love and kindness to a child that’s lost And flowers…. well they never hurt … Don’t be afraid to express your love Say what you mean…do what you say Give your love freely with touch, kind words And trust and respect… your greatest gift … The results of love given freely can be seen everyday In the faces of those who smile and have a spring in their step The young and the old who smile and say G’day For they extrude happiness to those who are sad … Love should not be about who has got what For every- day things will come and go The seeds of love will continue to grow And burst forth like a sunny spring day … Open your eyes and look around for love abounds It’s there for you to touch, experience and see Take the time there is no need to rush Take a deep breath… bend and smell the roses
