The meaning of love.

What is love?

Is it a baby’s soft coo,
A cat’s soothing purr,
Or the haunting song of a humpback whale?

What is love?

Is it a mother’s tender smile,
The gentle squeeze of a father’s hand,
Or the whimsical laughter of a grandmother?

What is love?

Is it the rising sun,
The wind in your hair,
Or the raindrops on your face?

What is love?

Is it dewdrops on velvet petals,
Birds chirping in the trees,
Or mischievous squirrels stealing fallen apples?

What is love?

Is it the touch of a man’s hand,
The look in his eyes,
Or the beating of his heart?

What is love?

Is it God’s glorious presence,
The chorus of celestial angels,
Or this mortal heaven called Earth?

What is love?

Is it fighting for what you believe in,
Living your own life,
And being true to yourself?

What is love?
