" Love builds bridges where there are none. "

What Love means to a 4-8 year old . . .
Slow down for three minutes to read this. It is so worth it. Touching
words from the mouth of babes.
A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8
year-olds, "What does love mean?"
The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have
imagined. See what you think:

toenails anymore.
So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got
arthritis too. That's love."

And the final one -- Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about
a 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 an
elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife.
Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's
yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.
When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy
said,
"Nothing, I just helped him cry"
" Love builds bridges where there r none. "
"We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do" - Mother Teresa
