Spare three minutes to read this. It is so worth it. Touching words from the mouth of babes.  What does Love mean?

A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, "What  does love mean?"  
 
The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think:
