Love Is This

2. Love Is This

Love is this,
A gentle morning breeze teasing the morning dew, glimmering on the early grass of spring.

Love is this,
The laughing eyes and toothless grin of an elderly, gray haired lady, just boarding a bus for home.

Love is this,
The happy glow on the face of a starving child, offered a bowl of rice by her new family.

Love is this,
A healing of an old man's heart and mind, realized as his pain and sorrow slowly disappears with age.

Love is this,
The joy of the unexpected birth of an infant, in the midst of a human tragedy of massive proportions.

Love is this,
The peace and the comfort of a fire, warming a lost and lonely soul, in the midst of a dark forest.

Love is this,
The echo of a word of 'love', resounding through a city of people, displaced by the ravages of a storm.
