Love

Love is beautiful and prestigious Love unites every single one of us. Love is immaculate through its extraordinary magnificence. For with Love, there is no selecting a specific gender nor race. Love lasts forever, and death does not part us from our soul mates. Love has many graces and knows no bounds. Love can be painful and takes many sacrifices. People can feel Love, taste love, and see it even though it is not a physical object.

Graces of Love are Kindness, Empathy, heartfelt, joyous, and hope. We have all felt Love in our lives from the very beginning as children. At the very point of our first existence, being helped by your mother for the first time, you feel a strong bond. For the first time when you hold your baby, you feel this consuming fire of pure joy and love all at once.

I remember this feeling that overcame my whole body, spirit, and mind. My first-born child was born twelve years ago, and she was my joy. My first baby, my first daughter, who will forever be my baby girl. We have all experienced that first Love we get with our first boyfriend or girlfriend—the butterfly kind of Love. You know the feeling you get in your stomach, like have butterflies moving all around.

The infatuated lustful first Love is the Love that we will think lasts a lifetime, but unfortunately, our first Love never lasts. We think that first Love is true Love when in fact it is just that first Love. The next exemplar of Love we feel for others or strangers. This Love is a need to help others. The Love we get for a stray animal or injured animal. The poor thing so helpless we have to help that poor animal. We feel as though we will stop everything from helping this poor animal out. It is empathetic but yet sometimes synthetic.

The feeling that is in our hearts and souls. We feel deeply for this human being, the homeless person we see on the street in the middle of a cold winter evening struggling to keep warm. The downhearted soul is freezing and can hardly standstill because it is cold outside. Our spirits scream out aches of pain for this person. We think to ourselves, what can we do to help this person?

Our brain starts to kick into overdrive, and bam, ideas come flowing in. You find a blanket, hand-warmers and buy them a heater only to hope it helps this poor soul. We think of this poor guy living on the street with nowhere to go in the cold snow. The next sun rise you notice that person is not there anymore .Come to find out He has passed, all the sudden this horrible feeling of hurt comes on to you like stabbing knifes into flesh or your heart. You are consumed deeply with guilt, then Out of the corner of your eye you notice a man that looks so black and cold dressed in rags holding the heater you gave him. You are enlightened to view the soul once again. He shows you his appreciation by opening his arms. The next example of enduring Love is the Love people can give to children who are not their own.

The tremendous pure selfless Love of adopting a child who is not yours and taking them into care for them, not just one child. Nope, my mother adopted four of us after birthing four of her own. Yes, my mother is the most remarkable definition of Love. She took four of us in, raised us, and still to this day loves all of us. She sacrificed her goals and her dreams to raise us as her own. She whole heartily gave her everything for all four of us. Black and white children for my mom did not know a difference in skin color.

We all have loved, been loved, and have been united through Love. Love is blind to color differences and hate. Love is significant to human existence, satisfying, and, lastly, empowering. Love can empower the soul and embody the mind.
