Love Is... Poem by Marco Polo

UNDERSTANDING:
Oneself and Others,
As they are,
For their needs.

Liking and enjoying
One's own needs and
Those of Others.

Gentle and Intimate
Affection and Sharing
Of needs and accepting and
Respecting differences.

Passionately and tenderly
KNOWING in detail
And gladly APPROVING!
