When love is there

When love is there

You can make it through anything

When love is there

You can let go gracefully

When love is there

You may want to grasp and pull

But you may find the strength to open your hands

And let the other fly

When love is there

You goal will be to make them happy

And in their happiness find joy

When love is there

You heart may hurt

And be joyful at the same time

When love is there

You will expect much

Perhaps too much

But be joyful in what you get

Love is

The cross

Love is, putting the other first

Love is, being there

Love is, listening deeply

Love is, being present in the others pain

Love is, sharing your own pain

And humbling yourself

Saying “help me please, I need you”

Love is not

A feeling you feel when you feel like you are going to get a feeling you never felt before

Love is not

Sex

Love is not peace (just the opposite)

Love is not using another to get what you want

But love is

a gift

special
and rare

when you find love,
never let go
