Quote of the Week

Love Lesson

The difference
between telling someone
you love them
and loving them
is the difference between pumpkin
and sweet potato pie.

The difference
between loving
and being loved
is the difference
between watering a garden
and the autumn harvest.

-Kwame Alexander

Love Lessons
