What Love Means

I just thought this one was worth the read.
Children keep it so real, so sincere, we can learn alot from the mouths of babes.


What Love means to a *
*4-8 year old. .*
Slow down for three minutes to read this. It is *so* worth
it. Touching
words from the mouth of babes.
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.'

'When someone loves you, the way they say your name is
different.
You just know that your name is safe in their mouth.'

shaving cologne and
they go out and smell each other.'

she takes a sip before
giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK.'

kiss'
