What Is Love? ---Iii

What is love? Love is feeling, Emotion, Affection, Sympathy and bonding. Love is affectionate bonding, Love is a thing hearty, Love is of the soul, Who loves it the heart and the soul, Say you? A lover of the heart, A lover of the soul, You will not find it, A lover of the heart, We all lovers of the body. I see love in the daughters, Small-small daughters Going to village school With the knapsack to sit upon And lime pencils and slates. I see the labour girls Going to labour schools, Guileless, simple girls So warm and affectionate. The dark daughters Smiling in the sun-burnt hamlets Of the country Bearing the brunt of heat and dust. Love has many shades, Many shreds, Love is not love if full of guile If not full of simplicity. Love is a thing of the simple heart, Love is to feel the warmth, The joy of living, Is to feel the happiness of life, Love is life. Love for family, Society, For the nation, Love for things and men and the world, How to express the shreds of thought? Love for the mother, For the sister, For the father, the brother, Love for family, Love is life And if they are happy, only then I am happy. To love one is not to hurt anybody, To love is not inflict pain upon, To love is to love truly Is to be with in pain and pleasure alike, To love is to share joys and sorrows.
