From the mouth of children: some real truths ( Archived) (6)

A group of professional people posed this question to a
group of 4 to 8 year-olds, "What does love mean?" The
answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone
could have imagined:

over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather
does it for her all the time, even when his hands got
arthritis too. That's love." ~Rebecca, age 8

different. You just know that your name is safe in
their mouth." ~Billy, age 4

And the final one -- Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia
once talked about a contest he was asked to judge. The
purpose of the contest was to find the most caring
child. The winner was a four year old child whose next
door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently
lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy
went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his
lap, and just sat there.

When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor,
the little boy said, "Nothing, I just helped him cry"

Now, isn´t life just wonderful!
