Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
Love is a gentle warmth that fills the soul,
A bond that makes two hearts feel whole.
It looks like kindness in every glance,
And feels like a soft, comforting embrace.
In a world where chaos can often reign,
Love brings peace and heals the pain.
It's a reminder of our shared humanity,
Showing us the beauty in unity.
1 Corinthians 13:4-8 (NIV)
Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking,
It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts,
Always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.

What is love, really?
Is it good manners, great body, nice hair?
No, I think that's not love but infatuation.
But it's still nice to take a very long glare.
Is love something you know?
Do you feel it right from the start?
I wish I could tell what I'm feeling,
So hard to know what's right for the heart.

I have a person in my life,
And I adore him so very much,
But I wonder what I'm feeling, is something that should make me squealing,
I think that he may have me in his clutch.
Am I really in love?
Is that possible and ever so true?
I hope to learn the answer when I dine with him later,
I wonder if he loves me too?

What is it about love, that makes it so sweet?
It's so hard not to unravel the wrapper.
It comes in so hard, and sometimes too strong,
You feel like it couldn’t have gotten here faster.
We love to be loved, but sometimes we kind of,
Want to take things very slow.
Love comes with some heartache, and we all can’t for sure take,
Risks that we’ve once done long ago.
Love is
that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own. Robert A. Heinlein
Love is
the flower you've got to let grow. John Lennon
Love is
like a friendship caught on fire. Bruce Lee
Love is
a fruit in season at all times, and within reach of every hand. Mother Teresa
Love is
a symbol of eternity. It wipes out all sense of time, destroying all memory of a beginning and all fear of an end. Madame de Stael
Poet: Kate Summers
Love can be felt in a touch
It can make one feel flush
Love can be felt in a hug
A better feeling than a drug.
Love can be seen in the eyes
Sometimes taking us by surprise
Love can be seen in a smile
Making life feel so worthwhile.
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
Love is a gift from God above
We are to share and show love
To each and every one that we meet
And extend it to those we greet.
Love is never meant to be kept away
We are to share it each and every day
By doing this we make the world a better place
Helping us meet the challenges we face.
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
What is love? A warm fuzzy feeling
When I see you it sends my heart reeling.
I love forward to being with you
I love you and all you do.
What is love? I feel like I'm losing my mind
I can only think of you, you're one of a kind.
I can't seem to focus or get anything done
I just want to be with you and have some fun.
What is love? When I think of you I just smile
I would walk to see you for miles and miles.
It is hard to put in words, this feeling of love
It's wonderful, it's giddy, it is sent from above.
Poet: Samuel Longfellow
To love and seek return,
To ask but only this,
To feel where we have poured our heart
The spirit's answering kiss;
To dream that now our eyes
The brightening eyes shall meet,
And that the word we'e listened for
Our hungering ears shall greet,
How human and how sweet!
To love nor find return,
Our hearts poured out in vain.
No brightening look, no answering tone.
Left lonely with our pain;
The opened heavens dosed,
Night when we looked for mom,
The unfolding blossom harshly chilled,
Hope slain as soon as born,
How bitter, how forlorn.
To love nor ask return.
To accept our solitude;
Not now for others' love to yearn.
But only for their good;
To joy if they are crowned,
Though thorns our head entwine.
And in the thought of blessing them
All thought of self resign,
How godlike, how divine!
