DISCOVERING LOVE
Once a young lad with innocent eyes,
Posed me a question with a sweet smile.
“What is the most beautiful thing in this world?”
Were the few little words he shyly uttered.
LOVE – I replied, without giving the query a thought.
Difficult question! No it was not.
“And where does it exit?” he asked with a gaze.
Leading me to an endless thoughtful maze.
To answer such a question how difficult it was,
Yet I gathered words and said after a long pause.
“In a father’s pat,
And a mother’s touch.
In a sister’s words,
And a brother’s hug.
Arms of a friend when he consoles you.
And times when strangers lend us help too.”
With a contented heart I thanked the child and said,
“Had it not been for your doubt, you see
I would have never discovered that
nice explanation...........and a nice beginig.
