LOVE
by Sonia, 9, California USA
Love is the fire inside you that never runs out of wood,
You can never put the fire out, although some wish they could.
Love is the river inside you that never dries up,
It will never stop flowing, even if you put it in a cup.
Love is the flower that never wilts,
Even if someone destroys the ground on which it is built.
Love is the tree that will never fall down,
Even if someone saws it to build a town.
Love is the thing that speaks to the depths of our soul and helps us to know,
Where the sad times are, when we need it the most.
