What Is Love? A Child’s Perspective
One day, I asked little Noah, “Can you describe what love is?”
With a bright smile, he answered, “Love is like Mommy, and love is a heart.”
Curious to hear more, I asked, “What does love mean to you?”
Noah thought for a moment, then replied with a soft, innocent voice, “Love means… it means you. It’s when we give each other kisses and hugs. It’s when we play together, laugh, and have fun. Love is when we take care of each other, when we share, and when we make each other happy.”

As he spoke, his eyes sparkled with warmth and sincerity. He continued, “Love is feeling safe and warm, like when Mommy holds me close. It’s when we don’t feel alone because someone is always there for us. It’s when we smile, even when we don’t have words to say. Love is being together and never leaving each other behind.”
His words were simple, yet they carried a profound truth—love is pure, love is kind, and love is all around us in the simplest of moments. Love is in a hug, in a gentle touch, in laughter shared, and in the feeling of belonging.
Hearing Noah’s heartfelt definition reminded me that love isn’t just a grand emotion found in stories or special occasions; it is in the everyday gestures of care, warmth, and connection. It is in the smallest hands reaching out to hold yours, in whispered “I love yous” before bedtime, and in the joy of simply being together.
Love, in its truest form, is beautifully simple just like the way a child sees it.
