Love comes in many forms...

Love comes in many forms...
It can be the gentle healing
When you've skinned your knee
The kisses and the cuddles
That loved ones give so freely
The learning ABC's
Through their patient teaching
The encouragement we feel
When playing games and reading
The crinkly smiles we share
For an inside joke delightful
Hiding under covers
When watching movies frightful
The experiences we have
With strangers good and kind
The connections that we make
That stay in hearts and minds
It's celebrating our victories
The joy of friendship strong
It's knowing all our crazy quirks
Are accepted where we belong
Holding hands at the doctor's
Life-changing news received
Going through pain and suffering
The learning and the healing
Walking silently side by side
Through the darkness with grace
Being held in a warm embrace
When lowered coffins we must face
Throughout our lives we'll know it
That love comes in many forms
Let's glow and show its warmth
And make love and light the norm
