"What does love mean?"
to a group of 4-8 year olds,
and the answers they got were broader and deeper
than anyone could have imagined:

"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you
stop opening presents and listen."

"When someone loves you, the way they say your name is
different. You know that your name is safe in their
mouth."


"Love is when someone hurts you. And you get so mad but
you don't yell at them because you know it would hurt
their feelings."

"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired."

Continue.....4-8 years old, take on love!

"Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get
tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you
talk more. My mommy and daddy are like that. They look
gross when they kiss."

"When you tell someone something bad about yourself and
you're scared they won't love you anymore. But then you
get surprised because not only do they still love you,
they love you even more."

"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he
wears it every day."

"Love is when mommy sees daddy smelly and sweaty and still
says he is handsomer than Robert Redford."

"You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it.
But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People
forget."

posted this in another thread but thought it would be cool here too...

art is takeing something and makeing it something it is not.
like takeing words and arangeing them into a poem or takeing diferent colors and makeing them look like a sunset or the notes of a scale becomeing musical melody. when you can do this with out a set of plans, instructions or a guide you have become an artist.

spiraling DARTS

oh, boy! Can words be twisted!
i've seen them changed in ways.
to many to be listed.
ever since my younger days.

i've seen them taken the wrong way.
i've seen them come out with a spray.
lines and lines of them, all saying nay.
groops of them makeing my heart say, hurray!

i've seen them shot out like darts.
straying from the straight and true.
breaching the wall around my heart.
showing the evidence that points to you.

many, many words can create a feeling.
pain or a pleasure to set your mind reeling.
wanton desiers of your hearts iner dealing.
a lash out, to stick me on the ceiling.

The Games People Play,

People will tell you what they,
Wan't you to hear!
Lies ment to comfort, are pain in my ear!
They pat me on the back, as they stick it
In my rear!
Just because someone takes an oath,
Is no garantee that they will keep it!
You can plant all the seed you want,
Still no garantee that you'll reap it!
Be carefull my friend, be cause they ask is
No garantee. they may not want it!
They ask because others have it.
They just want to be like the ones that
They see!
Not careing what the out come might be?
Not feeling what they say?
Never finding what they might see?
Never seeing what they might find.
Just looking for weekness.
Showing a picture of meekness, liers beware!!
