What Love Is

BY CAROLE NICHOLS

Love is being a best friend;
Someone there to hold my hand.
Love is making me feel needed and dear;
Someone on whom I can always depend.
Love will always see my faults,
And still want to be close to my side.
Love will always see my worth,
And in my accomplishments, take pride.
Love will always put me before others,
No matter what the personal cost.
Love will never betray my trust;
And will guide me home when my soul's lost.
Love will stand fast in good times, and bad,
And share it's secrets with me, too.
Love will always laugh and tease,
And enjoy the silly things I sometimes do.
Love will offer encouragement,
Love will bring me unending bliss,
Love will never turn away;
And love will start with one kiss.
