Guest guest Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008  Valentine's Day Message A group of 4 to 10 year-olds was asked, "What does love mean?" Here's a selection of answers and a bonus one ......from the mouths of babes!"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love." ( - age 8)"When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth." ( - age 4)"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other." (Karl - age 5)"Love is sharing even if you think you don't have enough." (Chrissie - age 6)"Love is like medicine, and hate is like poison. If everybody knew that, we'd all be happy." (Keisha - age 8)"Love is what makes you smile when you're too tired to think." (Terri - age 9)"Love is the silent sound in the room when the people you care about are all together." ( - age 10)"When you love somebody, it doesn't matter if they're gone for a little while or forever. You still find a way to love them." ( - age 7)"My mommy said they adopted me because they wanted one more way to grow love in our family. She said I grew in her heart, not in her belly." ( - age 6)"Love is when you tell a boy you like his shirt, and then he wears it everyday." (Noelle - age 7)"Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know ea! ch other much too well." (Tommy - age 6)" During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and I saw my daddy waving and smiling. I wasn't scared anymore. Love does that." ( - age 8)"My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night, do you?" (LaShonda - age 6)"Love is when Daddy looks at me and calls me his little flower that's always in bloom. You get the picture." (Elaine - age 9)"Love is when Mommy sees a picture of my family on the wall and stops to look a little extra long look at it." (- age 7)"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day." ( Ann - age 4)"You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People might forget." ( - age 8)And the final one to melt anybody's heart: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 him what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, "Nothing, really. I just helped him cry."~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ________________________________________ PeoplePC Online A better way to Internet http://www.peoplepc.com No virus found in this incoming message.Checked by AVG Free Edition.
