ali's Corner [What Is Love?]

a question so over heard
with answers so profound.
but hopefully not as profound as this one.


love is:
the answer to every question ever asked.


to every doubt or stuggle.
and to every fear and insecurity.
love is not only romance and intimacy
but it is the answer to everyday problems
in our lives.
our society
our country
and our world.

love is abused.
it is overused.
and it is misused.
it is the way we describe our feelings
and our desires.
love is often contradicted
and given false meanings.

love is what we all need.
whether we admit it or not.
it is our desire.
it is the only thing we need.
love is God.
&&
God is love.

love is the answer to a hurting child.
to a widowed woman.
and to a raging addict.

love is not only a feeling.
it is an action.
something to be given
only to be received.

it is something that if we live by everyday,
our children would mature more quickly.
our people would be more patient. more kind.
and more encouraging.
there would be no abortion.
or homocide.
no havoc or innocent victims.

love is the way i strive to live for the rest of my life.
i will love people.
and graciously doing so, they will walk away saying
"I just saw God."

if everyone knew how to love.
the world would know peace.
