Four Letters Poem by Crystal Pierce

I over heard it.
"Love is just a four letter word! "
But it really isn't, is it?
How can an emotion be a word?
I heard my mother say this.
I knew it wasn't true.
For I knew the truth.
Love is that first kiss.
The kiss you know will lead to a lifetime.
A lifetime that will end up making you happy.
Love is the first touch from you newborn.
Hearing it cry for the first time.
Smelling it and feeling it close to you.
Love is walking at sunset,
and remembering who you are.
Love is being true to yourself,
no matter what someone says.
Love is whatever you find yourself passionate about.
Not just some four letter word.
Love is how happy you are when you look in the mirror
and say
"I am who I'm going to be. And I will always be the best me>"
Love is not a four letter word.
