What Does Love Mean?

This is from a widely circulated email where the source is unknown:

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 even when his hands got…

Not happy today

Why do I keep speaking?

When there's not much to say?

Why keep pretending?

When I don't feel right today

I can't keep denying I am hurting you by just being around

When your doubt leads to your hurt

And I have left you bruised on the surface and bleeding within

During my busy days I’ll find ways to keep you out of my mind

But I’ll know you come and go about a thousand times

When the day slowly fades into midnight's deepest blue

I'll close my eyes and realize my dreams will sleep with…
