You might have read this somewhere , even if you have i suggest you grab that chair , lean forward and slow down for a few minutes .. and take your time to read this..

A group of professionals posed this question to a group of 4-8 year olds , " What does love mean ? " .. The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined .. See what you think..

'When someone loves you , the way they say your name is different . You just know that your name is safe in their mouth.'

And the final one ..

The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbour 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 . "
