What Is Love
What is love?
This sentence came to me one day.
What is love?
It’s when my spouse kisses me, you say
But is that what love is? Doesn’t it have more than one meaning?
What about when you get home and your kids are cleaning?
Isn’t love when you leave your puppy at home all day,
but when you get back, he kisses you anyway?
Isn’t love when you're parents put food on the table,
or when they make soup cause you're sick and not able.
How about when you're friends play with you on the slides,
even when they wanna do something else, like roll down a hillside?
Is love when you go through a breakup,
but you're friends bring you ice cream and wipe off your makeup.
I thought love was when you got in a fight,
but you admit you were wrong and then reunite?
Is it when someone cries for you,
or when you always have someone to fall back onto.
How about when your mom sings you to bed,
or what about when your husband still loves you with bed head?
Is love when your spouse tells you you're beautiful,
or when you get your wisdom teeth out and he makes you something chewable?
Is love when you're best friend gets the bad news one day,
and all you can do is sit there and pray?
Is love when the doctors say he won’t last much longer,
but how long does that mean is all you can wonder?
Is love when you go to their hospital bed,
and tell them everything the doctors have said?
The cancer is there, it won’t go away,
but they look at you, and grab your hands to pray.
Is love when they sleep and close their eyes,
and you lay your head on their chest, and just cry?
Is love when God takes them from your hand,
but brings them to a better land?
God brings them to heaven where there is no more pain,
but somehow you know you will see them again.
Is love the fact you know they are right by your side,
never to leave you because their soul never died.
Is love when you know they aren’t too far away,
they will be your angel each and every day
Is it when you know they are next to you now,
“forever by your side” they kept their vow
Is love knowing God cares so much,
giving you memories forever to clutch.
Love is when you go to heaven and see you best friend again,
and love knowing you have so many great things, even with sin
Love is something unpredictable,
but there’s only one word for it…love is unconditional.
