For My Friends - Love is...

Love is,
The beam of sunshine falling on the floor of a forest glade.

Love is,
The breeze that caresses your face on a summer’s day.

Love is,
The thing that you find when you least expect it but most deserve it.

Love is,
The force that breaks barriers and can conquer all.

Define love and you’re unable.
You just know it’s there.

Try to capture it through guile,
And you will ne’er succeed.

For love flows among us and through us,
It touches us with its radiant beauty.
It reveals to us the colour and the meaning of our lives,
Embraces us with its infinite warmth.

Love is,
The Butterfly that flits from flower to flower.

Love is,
The gleam of joy in your eye.

Love is,
The sweet honey from the beehive.

Love is,
The thing that makes it so great to be alive.
