What does love mean?

A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, "What does love mean?" The answers the got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think:

.  
"When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different.You just know that your name is safe in their mouth."

Billy - age 4

"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired."

Terri - age 4

"When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you."

Karen - age 7


"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day."

Mary Ann - age 4

Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child. The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, "Nothing, I just helped him cry."

 "Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends
even after they know each other so well."

Tommy - age 6

"Love is what's in the room with you at
Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen."

Bobby - age 7
