hopes for your good

by

Without Thought or Premeditation

Love…
…brings hope for the other persons highest good;  always wishing the best for him or her.  When done without thought or premeditation love shows its utmost form.

Popular short poem with an unknown author
I wish you enough sun
to keep your attitude bright.
I wish you enough rain
to appreciate the sun more.
I wish you enough happiness
to keep your spirit alive.
I wish you enough pain
so that the smallest joys
in life appear much bigger.
I wish you enough gain
to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough loss
to appreciate all that you possess.
I wish you enough hellos
to get you through the final goodbye.

Loving the Distance

Love…
…is patient and tolerant. It allows one to give the other person time and space to work through things alone. Standing by while ready to offer support and help at any moment is one of the greatest illustrations of love (you have proven it to me).

By German poet Rainer Maria Rilke
Once the realization
is accepted
that even between
the closest human beings
infinite distances continue,
a wonderful living side by side
can grow, if they succeed
in loving the distance
between them
which makes it possible
for each to see the other
whole against the sky.

A Great Comfort

Love…
… Love is a sense that comes without doubt and question; a simple, but certain knowing. There is graceful comfort in knowing there is true love in your heart for me.

Contemporary Italian writer C. Joybell C.
We have to allow ourselves to be loved
by the people who really love us,
the people who really matter.
Too much of the time,
we are blinded by our own pursuits
of people to love us,
people that don’t even matter,
while all… the people who do love us
have to stand on the sidewalk
and watch us beg in the streets!
It’s time to put an end to this.
It’s time for us to let ourselves be loved.

May Silence Make You Strong

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.
