The Meaning of Love
by Deborah Smith Plemmons

Love is not just in the giving of gifts;
It is having the gift of giving.
Love is not just in sharing secrets;
It is knowing the secret to sharing.

Love is not just a love undying;
It is willing to die for the one you love.
Love is not just in loving a brother;
It is showing everyone brotherly love.

Love is not just in saying what you mean;
It is having meaning to what you say.
Love is not just in the way you live;
It is showing others how to live the Way.

Love is not just in coping with others;
It is showing others how to cope.
Love is not just hope in each other;
It is each other finding the true Hope.
