Love is giving
It is giving your smiles
To brush away another’s tears
It is hiding your scarred hand and
Offering the bunch of dew kissed roses!
Love is encouraging in times of disappointment
It is holding hands when in fear
It is sharing burdens with joy
It is forgetting oneself - Thinking
And living selflessly for another.
This giving, this pouring out of
Body, Mind and Soul is - Love!
To be totally in love you have to give totally!

Angelina Pandian
