These were sent to me. I have kept only the ones that touched me the most. Little kids.. Wow,, sometimes they are so in tune to feelings.

What does Love mean? A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8year-olds, "What does love mean?"
*
"When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth."
*
Billy - age 4 "Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologneand they go out and smell each other."
*
"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired."
*
"Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired ofkissing, you still want to be together and you talk more. My Mommy and Daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss" Emily - age 8
*
"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop openingpresents and listen." Bobby - age 7 (Wow!)
*
"If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend whoyou hate," Nikka - age 6 (we need a few million more Nikka's on this planet)
*
"Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are stillfriends even after they know each other so well." Tommy - age 6
*
"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he ishandsomer than Robert Redford." Chris - age 7
*
"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him aloneall day." Mary Ann - age 4
*
"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." Jessica - age 8
*
And the final one -- Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked abouta contest he was asked to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child. The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was anelderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman'syard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boysaid, "Nothing, I just helped him cry"
