Love…
…means I wish the best for you: the happiness you deserve, the contentment you desire, the peace you need and good health to enjoy them in. May what we share grow ever stronger and live long.
Native American chief, author, poet, and actor, Chief Dan George
May the stars
carry your sadness away,
May the flowers
fill your heart with beauty,
May hope
forever wipe away your tears,
And, above all,
may silence make you strong.
Love…
…is expressed most fully through the senses. I know it’s meaning well when we hesitate for a long hug when time becomes irrelevant and unmeasured.
“Love Is” by James Browning
Love is intangible,
yet substantial.
Love is invisible,
yet invincible.
Love is mysterious,
yet absolute reality.
Love is unnecessary,
yet there is no life without it.
Through my heart’s fascination with you
the breadth and pinnacle of love
unfolds in ways before unknown.
Love…
…is a touch of your hand on mine, a smile on your face when our eyes make contact, standing close and feeling you near and so many little things that would not matter if we did not feel about each other as we do.
From “Ageless Body, Timeless Mind” by Deepak Chopra
Love
is considered
the most basic emotion
that human awareness can feel;
therefore,
it is the closest
to the source of life.
I love…
…that the foundation of what we share is true friendship. Such a bond gives a firm footing for what we feel for each other. Such a love is not fleeting because it rests on solid ground.
From “Everything” by an on-line author pennamed ‘Ann Marie’
Just when I think I’ve lost my way
Something illuminates the dark
There you are leading the way
Love shining from your heart.
Your smile and laugh urge me on
And encourage me to be strong.
Your loving support helps me stand
When the road is rough and long.
I love…
…better, deeper and more profoundly with age, yet with more trepidation and fear. While I am cautious beyond explanation I am grateful you got past my defenses and opened my heart to know love again.
By an anonymous author
To love
a person
is to learn
the song
that is in their heart,
and to sing it to them
when they
have forgotten.
I love…
…how patient you are with me when I get off on tangents and just talk and talk. Thank you for your indulgence and the caring heart that has tolerance for some of my not so good traits.
Quoted frequently but written by an author unknown
You’ve got to take
The good with the bad,
Smile with the sad,
Love what you’ve got,
And remember what you had.
Always forgive,
But never forget.
Learn from mistakes,
But never regret.
I love…
…the little things you do like a kind glance at the right moment, an encouraging word when things are tough for me, patience even when you don’t understand what I am going through or even a simple email to say good night or good morning. All together they sum to something quite substantial.
Eighteenth Century English poet and philosopher Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The happiness of life
is made up of
minute fractions;
the little soon
forgotten charities
of a kiss or smile,
a kind look,
a heartfelt compliment,
and the countless infinitesimal
pleasurable
and genial feeling.
I love…
…your patience and willingness to let something meaningful develop naturally over time between us. Although no one can predict where we will end up, I know it will be good and fashioned in love.
Poem by Amber Cruz
Love comes to those
who still hope
even though
they’ve been disappointed,
to those who still believe
even though
they’ve been betrayed,
to those who still love
even though
they’ve been hurt before.
I love…
…the caring words you send to me. The cold I am suffering with today is a little easier to bear because of what you emailed this morning: “Take good care of yourself today. I am sending healing vibes and loving thoughts.”
American publisher and motivational author Louise Hay
Love
is
the
most
important
healing
power
there
is.
I love…
…your kind and thoughtful nature. You would rather see yourself do without than someone you care about. Yours is a truly a giving soul.
By American poet William Carlos Williams
It was the love of love,
the love that swallows up all else,
a grateful love,
a love of nature, of people,
of animals,
a love engendering
gentleness and goodness
that moved me
and that I saw in you.
