When I think of this forum I think of the various things that unite us as the human race. And I feel that one of the strongest of these is love. Whether it is the love of the Divine, love of family, love of life...there is love. The entry below was sent to me today and it made me think and touched my heart. So I thought that I would share it with you.
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.
"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"
"My mommy loves me more than anybody . You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night."
And the final one -- 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 what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, "Nothing, I just helped him cry."
I feel those remerks, thank you.
Love is when the honeymoon never ends..
I shall melt it all away.
I shall take it as my own.
I shall make you smile.
I shall give you my strength.
Allow me to love you my own way.
Thank you, its been a while since i've read those. They are among my favourite quotes.
As my son would say (five years old), "Cuz your my dad, and there's not anyone better than you."
