Love and Faith

LOVE
what is love?
love is not taking her out to expensive dinners every night; love is cooking together and having the occasional food fight. love is not buying her pricey jewelry for holidays or anniversaries; love is making a handcrafted gift as a random surprise. love is not feeling obligated to have sex every night; love is yelling and screaming and having crazy make-up sex. love is not going out on the town and getting trashed together; love is staying home and watching moves while cuddling. love is a whispered "i love you" across the pillow in the morning. love is a kiss on her hand while driving. love is a promise.

FAITH.
what is faith?
faith is the sparkle in a child's eye as he wishes on a shooting star. faith is a raised hand during a song in church. faith is an elderly woman bent in prayer in Moscow. faith is knowing in your soul, without seeing, that you are given a promise.
