What is Love ???

A group of 4 to 8 year-olds was asked,

"What does love mean?"
The answers they gave were broader and deeper

than anyone could have imagined.

--"When my grandmother got arthritis,

she couldn't bend over and paint her toe nails 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 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 tell a guy you like his shirt,

then he wears it everyday"

(Tina - 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. That's love"

(Cindy -age 8)

--"My mommy loves me more than anybody.

You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night."

(Clare - Age 5)

--"Love is when mommy gives daddy the best piece of
chicken."

(Elaine - age 5)

--"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you
left him alone all day." (Mary Ann - age 4 )
