What is Love

Love is the sound of your coffee brewing early in the morning
Love is Autumn leaves forming and falling on a brisk evening
Love is the warmth from the tea mug you savor before bed
Love is wrapping yourself in a towel after a hot bath
Love is flowers blossoming in your front yard garden
Love is switching out your bedsheets to feel refreshed
Love is all your accomplishments
Love is being able to say "I am here."
Love is reminiscing with old high school friends
Love is the sweet sound of your favorite instrument being played

Love is not always a person Love is the littlest things in life that make you smile
You are full of so much love
You are surrounded by love

So please, stop searching for a person to show you the word "love"
Instead, start looking in the mirror
You'll find all the love in the world there
