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
