love in the eyes of the pros..

Slow down for three minutes to read this. It is so worth it. Touching words from the mouth of babes. What does Love mean? 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. See what you think:

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"

ain't that touching?? which is your favourite one??
my personal favourite is the one by Billy 4 years old..

sometimes its surprising how deep children can think.. i think its because, their minds are not clouded by complicated stuff (like ECG).. so, thats why we must let our heart do the talking instead of our minds.. then it'll really mean alot..
