Love is, smiling at those you pass in the street,

Love is, sharing the same with those you greet.

Love is, when you give someone some joy,

Love is, when you buy a child a new toy.

Love is, when you remember a birthday card,

Love is, when you don’t need to work too hard.

Love is, knowing when someone’s in pain,

Love is, when you help without thought of gain.

Love is, trying to comfort those who hurt,

Love is, being polite to those who are curt.

Love is, giving without counting the cost,

Love is, searching for whatever is lost.

Love is, in holding a new born child,

Love is, stopping them from growing up wild.

Love is, holding hands when you walk,

Love is, bothering to listen when they talk.

Love is, wanting to share all it must be said,

Love is, cherishing those that you have wed.

Love is, caring about all the world and all you see

Love is, allowing others to do the same for you and me.

Pyper.
