WHAT IS LOVE ?

Love is

Long phone calls deep into the night

Long stares deep into big eyes

Loud laughter

And giggles aplenty

Love is

The glance into the wells of your loved ones eyes

Communicating everything

But saying nothing

Love is

The long hold of the lovers' hands

The tight hugs and side smiles

Whispers, Whispers, Whispers

The squeeze of hand

Which sends thrills down the spine

Love is

The patient wait for the bride

To walk down the aisle

To ululations and hand claps

And signs of relief

Love is

Imperfect perfections

Missed phone calls

And mistaken words

Burnt amaido and misplaced socks

Love is

The long nights awake

Awaiting the dear one

From a long journey

Love is

Sulking

Childish fights

Stilled tempers

And passionate reconciliations

Love Is

The mingling of posho and kaalo

The peeling of mbooli and servings of envuluga

Love is the back rub and foot scrub

The belly massage

Expecting the new baby

Love is 

The Groom laying down His life

For the bride

Like Christ did for us

His church

Indeed

Love is 

Michael and Sandra Bageya
doing life together 

Sacrificial

Forgivingly

Passionately

Peacefully 

Forever

Amen
