A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8
year-olds, "What does love mean?" The answers they got were broader and deeper
than anyone could have imagined. See what you think:
"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her
toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his
hands got arthritis too. "That's love." Rebecca - age 8
"When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You know that
your name is safe in their mouth." ---Billy - age 4
"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they
go out and smell each other." "Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody
most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs."Chrissy -
age 6
"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired." -----Terri - age 4
"Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before
giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK." ---- Danny - age 7
"Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you
still want to be together and you talk more. My mommy and Daddy are like that.
They look gross when they kiss" -Emily - age 8
"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents
and listen," ---Bobby - age 7
"If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you
hate," ---Nikka - age 6
"There are two kinds of love. Our love. God's love. But God makes both kinds
of them." ---Jenny - age 8
Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday."
----Noelle - age 7
"Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even
after they know each other so well." ---Tommy - age 6
"During my piano recital, I was on a stage and scared. I looked at all the
people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling. He was the only one
doing that. I wasn't scared anymore," - Cindy - age 8
"My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don't see anyone else kissing me to
sleep at night." Clare - Age 6
"Love is when mommy gives daddy the best piece of chicken." Elaine - age 5
"Love is when mommy sees daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer
than Robert Redford." --Chris - age 7
"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day."
Mary Ann - age 4
"I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and
has to go out and buy new ones." --Lauren - age 4
"I let my big sister pick on me because my Mom says she only picks on me because
she loves me. So I pick on my baby sister because I love her." ---Bethany -
age 4
"When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out
of you." ---Karen - age 7
"Love is when mommy sees daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross."
Mark - age 6
"You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it,
you should say it a lot. People forget,"--Jessica - age 8
**************
Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to
judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child. The
winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly
gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little
boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat
there. When his mother asked him what he had said to the neighbor, the little
boy said, "Nothing, I just helped him cry." Boy, if only we could all be as
intelligent as that little child.
*** added ***
to much today do we adults forget that in our hearts we already know the simpilist things. we only make everything difficult. so can we uneducate ourselves to be as intelligent as a child.

Love is important but, sadly, often ignored or plain forgotten.

Not forgotten, but played down. It has been made into a object to be taken for granted. I've learned the hard way not to do that. Learn from me, it's easier...

Cool.
Explains all those sibling rivalries I guess.
V. Funny and poignant all at the same time!
