O que é o amor para ti?

What Does Love Mean To You?

Love – is one of the most popular word anywhere

Mention the word

Love in a crowd or to a group

You are sure to get their undivided attention

Love means many things to many people

He and she are in love, they are in love

What is this word they call – love?

Do we have to sleep with each other?

In order to demonstrate our loveSome say, not necessarily so, because

There is parental love, brotherly love

Sisterly love, and love of one’s neighbour

There are also marital love and family love

Many say it is only sexual love that involves

Sleeping with each other or going to bed

Then, how do you define love?

It is love that turns tears into laughter

It is love to care very much for our family

It is love to give something to the poorIt is love to be generous to beggarsIt is love to help the needy and the destitute

It is love to remember the homeless

When we are about to lie down in our homeIt is love to remove obstacles and impediments From the path of our neighbours

It is love to put ourselves in the position

If others before we behave to themIt is love not to close our eyes or walk-away
When we see injustice been perpetrated

It is love to recognize that we human beings

Are not equally talented and giftedBy the way, what does love mean to you?
