Love Is

This poem is by Laura, one of our own youth, and reminds us the power love has in our lives, especially on this special day meant to celebrate love itself.

Love is the purest, perfect light,
Love is kindness, gleaming white.
Love is the joy that we can see,
Love is the source, it is the key.

Love is the butterfly's gentle wing,
Love is the crown that crowns the king.
Love is the sunshine that shines on the creek,
Love is the courage that braves the weak.

Love is the child's very first smile,
Love is the laugh that's been left out a while.
Love is the puppy's strongest bark,
Love is the artist's stunning art.

Love is the rain that comes pelting down,
Love is the snow that covers the ground.
Love is the sun that shines for the day,
Love is the light that shows us the way.

Love is our food, it is our drink,
Love is the way we move, live and think.
Love is our souls, it is like perfect art,
Love lives in our minds, our thoughts and our hearts.
