this is love

You asked me about love today, and I thought about it long and hard, and this is what I realized about love:

Love does not buy luxury cars for Christmas.

Love does not pay the mortgage on seven bedrooms.

Love does not provide for tummy tucks and collagen shots.

Love does not do lunch at Spago’s or Mr. Chow’s.

Love gives just enough.

Love makes peanut butter and jelly mouthwatering.

Love warms a too-small house.

Love makes a lumpy mattress the greatest place on earth.

Love softens the blows of hard times.

Love is a reason not to fight over money.

Love knows that everything will be ok.

Love is a two person life raft in this sea of troubles.

Love knows two hearts are better than one.

Love will get us through the bad things.

Love is just enough.
