In My Own Dictionary Poem by Sicelo Sithole
In My Own Dictionary
I did not find
A rounded meaning
for the word love
In my own dictionary
So perplexed
as I am now
Tomorrow I will go
to
a philosopher,
a criminal,
a counselor,
a linguist,
a pastor,
a janitor
a mathematician
and a five year old child
To hear
their views
On such
Fragile matters

Stunning! And I bet you will get the best answer from the five year old child - in the eyes if not the words as well! There is also an excellent, beautiful and true (long) definition in the Bible, in Corinthians II Chapter 13.
