I found myself growing anxious, waiting by the door,
Hoping for a burst of new happiness to sweep in.
As I glanced around to make space for this new joy,
I saw a home full of blessings that I had overlooked.
The shiny wrapping may have faded away,
But the steady warmth of love had been right there.

It bloomed in those fragrant "just because" flowers,
It is wrapped around me in tight hugs and soothing cuddles.
It is present in our simple daily routines,
Like the dishes that magically clear away after dinner,
Or the cup of morning tea made just the way I like it.

Genuine love is more than grand gestures and poetic expressions,
It speaks through consistent acts of care and kindness.
A love that sees you, values your worth, and chooses you,
It is a blessing worth celebrating, protecting, and fighting for.
