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 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 just know that your name is safe in their mouth."
Billy - age 4
"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on
shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other."
Karl - age 5
"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

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"

Children speak the truth, people say they are naive but they are not, they havent been ruined by society.
I especially love the 'love is what makes you smile when ur tired'. Its sweet.

This is so wonderful!!! Moves me to tears! <3
My fave is the "makes you smile when your tired" one.
After that, I like the "stars come out of you" one.

That was a great list. Love can mean different things to different people and they is no better way then to let children explain it. That list is sweet. Thanks
