What does Love mean?

I received this in an email from a friend of mine and had to share a few of the children's comments with you all... "When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth." Billy - age 4 "Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French Fries without making them give you any of theirs." Chrissy - age 6 "Love is what makes you smile when you're tired." Terri - age 4 "Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen." Bobby - age 7 (Wow!) "If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend that you hate." Nikka - age 6 (We need a few million more Nikka's on this planet) "Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross." Mark -age 6 And this one made me cry...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 gentlemen's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, "Nothing, I just helped him cry." That'll make you stop and think, yes?

the word love is far different from commitment, love is a gift that anyone can have but commitment is a sacrifice for love that not anyone is capable of. it's just so sad that the word commitment is enclosed with duties which makes it heavy which makes other people afraid, they may bbe ready for love but not for commitment. but come toi think of it... isn't love enough to keep a commitment?

it's a difficult one isn't it. Love is something someone gives us that makes us feel whole.
