In three words I can sum up everything I&#039;ve learned about life: it goes on. <br /> Robert Frost <br /> <br /> Because I could not stop for death, He kindly stopped for me; The carriage held but just ourselves and immortality. <br /> Emily Dickinson

It is the word from my lips
Spoken so tenderly
Just as my mother
Had said it to me
Who knows what it is?
This wor so small?
Yet it's meaning does grow tall
What is love?
Why, ask me
In my own love is...everything

The author's comments:
One day my friend asked me, what is love. and I had just taken an Astronomy course, how suns are the only matter that makes elements and how whe are all made out of the same stuff as stars. and how my heart flutters at the smallest things so I gave her a long list and then was all, 'you know what? it would just be easier to say...everything. love is everything.'
