The Smallest Act of Caring

I love…
…your intuitive ways of anticipating what others may need.  Combined with your caring and empathetic ways that combines to be a remarkable gift. 

Advocate of the Power of Love, Leo F. Buscaglia
Too often
we underestimate
the power of a touch,
a smile,
a kind word,
a listening ear,
an honest compliment,
or the smallest act of caring,
all of which have the potential
to turn a life around.

The Joy in Finding You

I love…
…how you remind me at every opportunity that you love me.  Showing and telling the depth of your feelings causes my insecurities to scurry away. 
 
“Power of Love” by Alison Chambers Casey
We seek to find a miracle,
A place not of our own;
And find it in the power of love,
Where we never walk alone.
A quiet place of restful dreams,
This miracle come true;
My heart knows peace
And now it sings,
Of the joy in finding you.

Your Love Filled the Void

I love…
…how thoughtful you are.  All the little things you do warm my heart and make me feel special.

From “Almost Love” by Joan M. Schumack
I never intended
to fall in love
again.
Another parting
paralyzed me
to the thought
of romance,
then you entered my life.

Your love of life
filled the void
of my loveless life.

Forever New

I love…
…when you have a day off and come to my office to take me out to lunch.  Seeing you then makes me smile the rest of the workday.
 
From “You” by Louis Untermeyer
You are serene,
Steadfast, true
Inspiring
And forever new –
The first and last
Of all desiring –
YOU.

The Bond of Our Hearts

I love…
…that when you feel afraid or unsure you tell me.  The mutual trust we share emboldens our love and strengthens the bond of our hearts.  

From the poem “To Asra” by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Are there two things,
Of all which men possess,
That are so like each other
And so near,
As mutual Love
Seems like to Happiness?

As Time Goes By

I love…
…how we stood lost in our embrace under my umbrella in the pouring rain by your car today with our feet and legs getting soaked and not even being aware it was happening.
 
Taken from “As Time Goes By” by Herman Hupfeld
You must remember this
A kiss is just a kiss,
A sigh is just a sigh.
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by.
Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date.
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate.
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny.
Oh yes, the world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by.

Glowing With Love

I love…
…the text messages you send filled with your sweet and loving words.  When reading what you write I find myself smiling on the outside and glowing with love on the inside.
 
American author Henry Jackson van Dyke
Time is too slow for those who wait,
Too swift for those who fear,
Too long for those who grieve,
Too short for those who rejoice,
But for those who love,
Time is eternity.

Let’s Kiss for Christmas

I love…
…remembering when we went to see the big Christmas lights display, walking through it holding hands, arm in arm and sneaking in kisses.  What a wonderful time we had. 
 
Let’s Kiss For Christmas By Trade Martin
Let’s Kiss For Christmas,
For our love is strong,
Let’s Kiss For Christmas,
Together is where we belong,
With passion so much brighter,
Than any sparkling light,
We’ve waited so long,
And prayed for this night,
Let’s Kiss For Christmas.
