Love Is The Source Of Life


I have just watched "Children From Heaven"...A lot of lessons could be learned from it. It was so touched that I couldn't stop the rolling tears. The movie was about a poor family. The father is Kareem. Kareem and his wife raised up three children. The first child is Ali who is nine and goes to school in the afternoon. The second is his sister, Zahra studies in the same school but in the morning session. One day Ali went to the town to get his sister's shoes repaired and bought bread and potatoes for his family. While he was picking up some potatoes in the shop a recycled man came outside the shop to pick all the used things and that man took away Ali's plastic bag which contained his sister's shoes....So, the shoes had gone which marked the beginning of thier trials in life. Eventhough the two children have undergone all the trials and tribulations in thier life but they managed to survive as their hearts are always fill with genuine love. The love and affection of a brother to his sister. He has tried his possible best to replace the missing shoes. He struggled so hard for the third place in a cross country as the prize for the third is a pair sneakers...however he got first as he was truely a good runner...
This poem is dedicated to all the kind hearted people...
Love is being happy for the other person
when they are happy
being sad for the other person when they are sad
being together in good times
and being together in bad times
Love is the source of strength
Love is being honest with yourself at all times
being honest with the other person at all times
telling, listening, respecting the truth and never pretending
Love is the source of reality
Love is an understanding that is so complete that
you feel as if you are a part of the other person
accepting the other person just the way they are
and not trying to change them to be something else
Love is the source of unity
Love is the freedom to pursue your own desires
while sharing your experiences with the other person
the growth of one individual alongside of
and together with the growth of another individual
Love is the source of success
Love is the excitement of planning things together
the excitement of doing things together
Love is the source of the future
Love is the fury of the storm
the calm of the rainbow
Love is the source of passion
Love is giving and taking in a daily situation
being patient with each other's needs and desires
Love is the source of sharing
Love is knowing that the other person
will always be with you regardless of what happens
missing the other person when they are away
but remaining near in heart at all times
Love is the source of security
Love is the source of life...
