To say
I love you

is quite easy
 really.

To mean
 I love you

is quite a different thing.

Love is an action

it is a way of giving of

oneself

to

another

so

that

they 

really, really

feeeeeeel 

it.

The knowledge of love 

is a comforting

thought.

It is the real act of love

that makes all the rest

blow away like fine sand on a windy day.

I love you

are precious words.

words so easily spoken 

sometimes not meant

not cemented by action

real love
 is to sacrifice something of myself

to another

for another.

This
 love I long for

I long to share

freely.

The child understands love

love is being there

doing that fun thing

playing that game

watching that jump

sharing that moment

when I least have time

or want to

or have capacity.

A child understands
the true meaning of
love

 have  we lost the  meaning of
love?
Somehow,
 have we misplaced it

love has a
length and a breadth ; 
it has depth.
It is full

and it fills  a person 

'I love you'
has been

stolen,

 replaced by something

fake,
 false

fast and shallow.

Reclaiming love

is the work that He

began and ended that day.

He showed his love and acted to share 

to save

he died to show love

and claim us

for himself

in love

to love

for love 

so that we in turn can
truly love others
