Dedicated to my dear friend who is a survivor of Epilepsy and Anorexia Nervosa.

Oh…Luv! Oh.. Luv is more than a four-letter word it is a whole lot more than what you heard! Luvs not what you say; it's all in what you do because anyone can say "I Love you!" Luvs filling a paper cup with your hope and care Luvs saying it out loud and then being there. Luvs catching her tears from wetting his bed Luvs helping the dejected get far far ahead. Luvs taking a kid's words from a riddle to the clear Luvs Teen's on graduation, headed out of ghetto fear. Luvs spreading yellow margarine on a weak person's bread then picking them up gently putting them to bed. Luvs Black, White, Brown, Korean, Chinese Luvs protecting all creatures with a mouth to feed. Luvs working with, and being with, and rising up above Luvs doing all of this then you call it Love. Luvs not what you say; it's in all that you do Now everyone shout "I Love you!" Word!

I love these lines...
What comes out of you... those things you do is Love not what you say.
Anybody can say i like you.
