Love
A word
But it means the world to someone
Love is a sweet thing
A kiss on the cheeks
A warm, welcoming hug
Holding hands
Looking into each other's eyes
Love is a sweet thing
Having someone to think about at night
Knowing "that special someone" is looking at the same moon as you
Wishing upon a star every night that you could have just one more night
with that person
Love is a sweet thing
Someone to brag about
Someone that will call back after you get in a fight and hang up
Someone to say, "I love you" to
And they'll always say it back
Someone to worry about
Even though you just saw them
Someone to lean on when you can't hold back the tears
A sleeve to wipe your wet eyes on
That person that's allowed to be near you when you just want time alone
That person that will laugh at your jokes when nobody else does
That person that says, "I want to be with you the rest of your life."
Your best friend no matter what
That person that's says, "marry me" when you're 12 years old
That person that brings you soup and candy when you're sick
That person that will go to see the most boring movie with you
(even though you can't stand it) just because you want to see it
That person that will go shopping with you for hours and won't get annoyed
That person that will call you first if anything exciting or important happens
Someone that will catch you when you fall
And someone who says they will love you until death do you part
just by saying, "I Do."
{Editorial comment: What a wonderful poem! That's all I am going to say about it, except that Hannah may be a future song writer, singer, or poet. Anyway, I hope she invites me to her first concert or poetry book signing! Please show your friends your special poem, and encourage them to write what's in their heart.}
