A Teenagers Thoughts on Love

Title: What Love Really Can Be
Author: Tricia Gunberg at 14 years of age

Love can be a flower soaking up the sun
Love can be two people having fun         

Love can be a soft blowing breeze         
Love can be a just asking please            

Love can be music to your ears               
             Love can be someone to rid you of your tears    

Love can be given in so many ways        
         Love can be explained in just one little phrase

Love can be walking hand in hand           
         Love can be someone you really understand   

Love can be a sweet feeling inside          
Love  can be very hard to hide                 

Love can be in your heart and mind        
Love can be so hard to find                      

That's what love really can be
