For Those You Love
Smile each day
for those you love.
Let them know by the
brightness of your face
that you are happy they’re
in your life. Even if there
are times you argue and disagree.
Touch each day
those you love.
Hold them close, even if briefly.
The human touch is one of the
most comforting things in our
world, and one of the most reassuring.
Speak softly each day
to those you love.
Those whispers of intimacy
that tell them that what you say
is important but meant
for their ears and their ears only.
Muse quietly each day
of those you love.
Allow yourself to find those things
that you truly admire and respect
in that person. Forgetting, at least
for the moment, any of the negative.
Allow yourself to be vulnerable
to those you love.
It is a most frightening experience
to be without shields, but it can
also be the most wonderful flight in
the world to find another holds your
spirit carefully within their heart.
Believe that you deserve
those you love.
Your love is the most precious
gift that you can bestow on another
human. You deserve to be loved in
return. Without constraints. Without reserve.
Be honest
with those you love.
Let them know how important
they are in your life.
Take care that they never have to
guess at what you think and feel.
There may come a time when they
walk away..and then would you regret
not telling them? In all possible ways?
If you’re getting this.. it’s
because you are important to me.
Watch for me today as I smile into
your eyes, speak softly into your ear
and touch you gently with hands and
heart full of love.
