*~THE WAY LOVE GROWS~*



I feel Love is the answer
It's so basic to our needs
Without it something's missing
It's like a tiny seed.



As a seedling, it needs much care
For it to nurture and to grow
It needs the warmth of Loving Hearts
To teach it what it should know.



We begin learning from our parents
Our teachers sometimes take a part
Our brothers, sisters and our friends
All help to build a Heart.



But also we develop
A sense of it on our own
Sometimes it's called "basic chemistry"
We will experiment with this unknown.



And it will take many forms
For as we grow, we care in many ways
The love of Art and Music, for example,
Gives us such great pleasure in our days.



We Love nature and animals too
Snowflakes melting on our tongue :)
We hold dear our Loving grandparents
And later on our very own young.



We learn that sometimes Love means sacrifice
And it can also cause great pain
The loss of a young soldier
Who's life was not lost in vain.



But would we ever return this flower
Oh Yes!!! Most assuredly so
The greatest gift is giving it back
To One who Loves you so.



So as Valentine's Day approaches
Treasure this Special Day
Let the One you Love and hold dear
Feel your Love in Your Own Special Way



We also should remember
That "Special One" for His Help
For His Great Love and His Teachings
Who told us to Love your neighbor as Yourself.
