The Meaning Of Love
Love Is ....
Love is described in one word , "Eternal" . Have you ever found yourself questioning what Love really is? There are so many descriptions, thoughts and ideas on the Internet you will find not only hundreds but thousands of passionate and inspirational thoughts.
Nat King Cole described Love and broke the letters down in terms that millions of people worldwide could agree with. Natalie Cole took her father's song and added pizzazz and beauty and it brought it back to life.
L: Is for the way you look at me
O: Is for the only one I see
V: Is very , very extraordinary
E: Even more then anyone that you adore
Magically the words fit and what a poetic song, simple , beautiful and by all means perfect.
We find that love has many different meanings to many of us and is used loosely among the population. In the same breath we love so many things that we can only utilize the word to express what we feel, as there isn't any word that would better describe it.
Here is what many describe as love and by all means it certainly does fit.
Love is.... Dinner for Two by Candlelight and your husband does the cooking.
Love is.... Bringing home that new puppy and missing them when you are away.
Love is.... Being in a perpetual state of Awe
Love is....Being in wedded bliss forever
Love is.... Your children no matter if you are right or wrong they always get past your anger and forgive you.
Love is.... Telling your best friend you love them.
Love is.... Holding your newborn for the very first time
Love is....Looking into your spouse's eyes and falling in Love all over again.
Love is.... A True adventure and you cannot get enough of it.
Love is... Worth fighting for
Love is....The thoughts we put into our everyday responsibilities
Love is.... Forgiveness
Love is....Committment
Love is...Eternal
Love is...God
Love is...Life
Love is... The Love of a Grandchild as noted below by "Trish1048"
Love is... See comment by Poppa Blues :) It was beautiful as well.
Simply put "Love is... The master key that opens the gates of happiness". Oliver Wendall Holmes
Can anyone one of us ever imagine what we would do without the word, Love? Take the word away and what would describe our emotion, thought or feeling? What an eternal word love is, indeed love is a many splendored thing.

For some reason, poetry gets a bad rap. Our society doesn't value it, poor teaching habits encourage our children to disdain it (or worse), and mainstream publications take great pains to avoid putting... - What is poetry?
I enjoy asking students to define what poetry is, because each class comes up with a different definition, and each one is correct. It is the nebulous nature of poetry that most attracts me (well, that --... - Spring Poetry & Spring Birthdays
In literature, Spring means newness and a renewed spirit after a dormant or harsh winter. The literary spring means rebirth and renewal, a time for second chances and healing. Hope.

HappyBoomernurse: Only you can dig through old hubs and come up with them again. I had completely forgotten about it until you dusted it off. lolo! Love is a choice and we do have to love ourselves and it is one of the greatest things we can do for ourselves. Glad to see you. :)
Wonderful uplifting hub about love. Most people speak of love as a feeling and I believe that's true, but I also believe it can be a choice and that choosing to love ourselves and others is one of the greatest things we can do for ourselves and for world peace.

philip carey 61: I never tire either.:)
I think it (Love) is a cause and an effect at the very same time. I mean, it perpetuates itself, for itself. Nothing could be holier. I never tire of reading about it.

That hearts my heart :( I am happy that I was able to bring back some wonderful memories on my hub. Maybe it was time :) From him came your children and in turn grandchildren. I am certain if he was here , they all would have made him proud. You were high school sweethearts :) You should write on that .:) Thank you for sharing this with me and others who are reading it.
AEvans,

Very pretty Poppa

Absolutely beautiful!! Thanks forposting it on my article and I as well will note you at the top. :)
Love is...
Love is more than a word
A feeling transmitted between parted lips
More than a connection
Warm hands on curvaceous hips
More than beauty
Held in one’s eye
More than a thought
Of cherished friend mine
Warmth that grows
From deep within
An itch not scratched
Below your skin
Beyond the craving
Passion and lust
Beside each other
Together in trust
Trials and tribulations
Together we’ve faced
Beaten and battered
Yet still in the race
Our lives together
Forever bound
We give each other
A gift not easily found
Love is all of the above
And much more
Eyes to the future
For all that’s in store
A present we share
Every day
Love isn’t love
Until you give it away
So my love on this day
Of Saint Valentine
I count my blessings
That you are mine
Giving thanks to
The Lord above
For teaching me
To know this love

It is a beautiful song and the perfect pick!!! Look how long you have been married? That was supposed to be your song and it was a blessing. :)
You're welcome AEvans. My hubby and I actually picked out the song on our way to the church. It had come on the radio and we thought it was as good a song as any :)

Trish,
Thank you for sharing it as if with permisssion I will add it to the top and note your hubname as well even though you left a comment. :) It is a fun little hub and my mom gave me the idea as it was her wedding song too. :) I am happy to make both you and her HAPPY!!!
I had to respond. The title of this hub was my wedding song 40 years ago. At the time, my hubby and I didn't really have an 'our song', and I don't think 'I Got You Babe' was too appropriate :)
Love in terms of a partner to me is being able to discuss anything and everything, never judging, being respectful, being able to agree to disagree and just being together through thick and thin. Society today is a throw-away society. Throw away pets, kids, marriages,,,,it seems many people don't have what it takes to ride out the rough spots. For those people, it's 'I'm done, I'm out of here' and off to the nearest divorce lawyer or animal shelter. In fact, as far as pets, many don't even bother with a shelter, they either abandon them or kill them. A very sad state of affairs.
I'd like to add 'love is the love of a grandchild'. I can't describe it, I just know that it's different than the love you have for your own child, but equally as strong.
Thanks for sharing,
Trish
