I would give my all

I would gladly give my all for the sixth thing in a list of what I love. I like places and objects but I do not love them. I love people, I love my parents and my friends, my co-workers past and present, I love the people I have met, and the people I hope to meet. I love that special someone in secret, I love the performer on the stage, I love the true artist, and I love you for taking the time to read this. While I dare not assign rank and value, even number six on my list would surely be a life. To protect that life, no matter who it is, would be to preserve what it is I love in this world. We are the sum of those we surround ourselves with, so to lose anyone would be to lose a piece of myself.
