What Love Really Is & What It's All About

I never really knew what love was until I became a mother of a little girl in the fall of 1997. I had very little experience with children, and was already delivering my first one. With what little experience I had, I brought a little 7lbs and 11oz bundle of preciousness into the world.

Giving the circumstance, I was single and basically still a teen ager, but she was the most awesome thing to me. I know she was four days old before I got to see her or hold her. I had been in and out of a coma for the time that I was in labor, until then.

At the moment I knew what love really and truely was. It was love at first sight.

A human can have all sorts of material belongings and all of the money he can dream of. That one person is still the poorest person with less riches on Earth.

As long as you have the love from your family, friends, or any one living creature, you're a very rich person.

Love can come to you in many forms. Either an animal, a family member, or a child. The purest, most precious of loves, come from a child. The child doesn't have to be yours. That child can be a child of a friends or relatives.

A child is born into this world pure and sweet. Their love goes out to all that surround them and take care of them, just as pure as they are. Children show their love in many forms.

They pick the flowers at the tips and place them into the palm of your hand. They think it's the most wonderful thing in the world and that they done the biggest most wonderful thing. Then, they hug you and walk away, only to return a few mintues later to make sure you still have it in your hand. They want you to know that they picked it for you to keep and because they love you.

Even if a child doesn't know how to draw or write, they can scribble on a piece of paper and come running up to you. While in the middle of running, they scream, "I drew this for you!" Their smiles warm and full of amusement. Their love springs forward just like a jack in a box. Hugs from them are just as warm as their hearts are.

A child's love is meant to bring us joy and warmth in the times that we need it the most. Their love, smiles, hugs, and wonderful giggles are all the little wonderful things that show us what love is really all about.

We love them enough to bring them into this world. We show them love from the day that we meet them face to face. Their little hands are so precious. It's a wonderous thing to know that love can be brought to someone in the form of such a small little package.

Love isn't something that grows over time. With a child, they are born with lots of love and very pure love from day one. They do not know how to hate, discriminate or any other bad things that happen in life as it does now. A child is pure innoncence

A child is what love is all about.
