I hold our love in the palm of my hand as one would a newborn: with awe and delicacy, with softness and protection, with the promise to nurture

I hold our love in the palm of my hand as one would a pearl found on a sunny ocean shore, with respect for its strength, with wonder for its resilience, with value for its journey to the shore

I hold our love in the palm of my hand as one would a diamond, with humility for its beauty, with amazement at its density, with meekness for its potential to withstand harshness

I hold our love in the palm of my hand as I would my own, accepting its fragility, acknowledging its power, respecting its potency and most of all, understanding its need to be cherished 

I may not be the strongest, bravest, most knowledgeable, wisest of all men but
I recognize that love is a gift to be appreciated, and in so doing, it may have the chance to grow and flourish:

Love is strong when it grows, lasting when it flourishes!

Love is priority
Love is showing up
Love is being present in the right moments
(moments that count)

Love is saying the right things
Love is speaking up for…
Love is supporting

Love is correcting
Love is standing up for…
Love is teaching

Love is appreciating
Love is acknowledging
Love is giving

Love is not a response
Love is reaching out first
Love is making the first move!

LOVE IS WHEN SOMEONE ELSE’S HAPPINESS AND FULFILMENT IS ESSENTIAL TO YOURS!

"If all men count with you but none too much"
If you're open to all
but not too blind to identify those who would watch you fall

If you can give without expecting
If you can leave without holding grudges but hold precious memories dearly;
If you can say SORRY and mean it
If a pal's apology doesn't inflate your pride...

If you can see BEAUTY and adore her
If you can see her in the mud and recognize her
If she is out of sight but you can see her within
If she is nearby and attended to
If she is around and honored...

If there is love in your heart
If you say it and do it
If you can lose to win and tell the story not for men's praise or the glory
If you can bend a knee for a greater victory!
If you can insist on the right thing and refuse to bow to pressure...

THEN,

You're a good man deserving Heaven's bliss, the Earth's fullness and all things good and fulfilling!

If I could write words
Like leaves in a dry forest,
What a wildfire my letters would make;

If I could voice out
My thoughts like full grown trees,
What a lovely shade they would provide;

If I could sing
Like free birds perusing the sky,
The melody will make you fly;

If I could speak words
As water,
You'd float or drown when I say

I LOVE YOU
