Love…
… has my heart singing in harmony with yours. Had someone suggested I’d mellow into such happiness, I’d not have accepted it was possible. Now I believe. Now I’m in love. Now I know joy I never imagined feasible.
French romantic, poet and novelist Victor Hugo
What
a grand
thing,
to
be
loved!
What
a grander
thing
still,
to
love!
Love…
…. is always good, no matter how much we may end up hurt by it. From each heartbreak, large and small, come the lessons for the heart. Often we learn what we should have done from doing what we should not have done.
Blogger and spiritual seeker James Browning
All the others were
to make me ready for you.
I had to learn
what did not make me happy.
I had to learn
how I made them unhappy.
One by one
they came and went,
teaching me
how to recognize you
when you come into my life.
I’m waiting…
Love…
…heightens and brightens every sense, thought and feeling. It fills and thrills the heart, mind and body. Like gasoline it can make a small flame into a blazing fire.
From “The Magic Of Love” by Helen Steiner Rice
Love is like magic
And it always will be.
For love still remains
Life’s sweet mystery!!
Love works in ways
That are wondrous and strange
And there’s nothing in life
That love cannot change!!
Love can transform
The most commonplace
Into beauty and splendor
And sweetness and grace.
Love…
…in my heart is high like mountains; balanced like level plains; beautifully colorful as a spring meadow and smooth as a worn river stone. The uneven ground of thought, deserts of doubt and rough edges of a routine day are no match for love’s power.
American poet, painter, essayist, and playwright E.E. Cummings
Trust
your
heart
if
the
seas
catch
fire,
live
by
love
though
the
stars
walk
backward.
Love…
…is a mystery never completely solved. It is a question for which no complete answers exist. Every heart loves differently making as many different kinds of love as there are people.
From “Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman” by Haruki Murakami
I sometimes think
that people’s hearts
are like deep wells.
Nobody knows what’s
at the bottom.
All you can do
is imagine by
what comes floating
to the surface
every once
in a while.
Love…
…is the longest four letter word in the English language. To understand, one need only consider the eternity it takes before a response after telling someone for the first time that you love him or her.
Canadian author and speech pathologist Vesna Bailey
…you are
my rainbow
to keep.
My eyes
will always
be watching
you;
never will
I lose
sight of
you.
Love…
…has value above all. Everything else is either sought earnestly or unconsciously as a substitute for love or as distraction to cover the lack of it. Love is the wizard behind the curtain of all that is worthwhile.
Dutch priest, writer and copyist Thomas a Kempis
Love feels no burden,
regards not labors,
strives toward more
than it attains,
argues not of impossibility,
since it believes that it may
and can do all things.
Therefore it avails for all things,
and fulfils and accomplishes
much where one not a lover
falls and lies helpless.
Love…
…arrives like spring after a cold winter. It brings hope where there was emptiness. The ground breaks sprouting new growth that was lying in wait for love’s warmth so it could burst open with color.
From “Little Men” by American novelist Louisa May Alcott
Love is a flower
that grows
in any soil,
works its
sweet miracles
undaunted by
autumn frost
or winter snow,
blooming fair
and fragrant
all the year,
and blessing
those who give
and those
who receive.
Love…
…makes each person a searcher who hopes for a discovery that shines a bright light into his or her heart. When found, the radiance of love is reflected outward onto everything adding more color to life and more joy to living.
From “The Joys of Love” by Madeleine L’Engle
I feel as though
I’m not breathing
when I’m out
of his presence.
He’s the oxygen
in my air,
the sun
in my universe,
the staff
of my life.
Love…
..brings great strength, comfort and a certain knowing that today and always, beyond tomorrow, I need you beside me, always as my best friend, lover and forever soul mate.
From the song “Until Forever’s Gone” by Kenny Rogers
With all my heart,
and all my soul,
I will love you
till the winds
don’t blow.
Until the oceans
turn to stone,
my love is yours
and yours alone.
My love is forever,
until forever’s gone.
