What is Love



Strong arms, soft touch
Sincere eyes, gentle lips
Words of wisdom, compassion
Loud mouth, big smile
Big brain, humble
Pain and heartache
Gladness and hope
Dreams and wishes
Giving and grieving
Kisses and hugs
Scars and bruises
Never ending
Eternal
Immortal
Nightmares and fantasies
Unconditional
