Love

Love...
surprises you at just the right moment
speaks words in a language your heart can understand
has eyes that see beneath the surface
listens to the rise and fall of every emotion
stays calm in the midst of a storm
holds your hand close to its heart
holds you as close as it possibly can
brings you food when you are hungry
gives without thinking twice or asking for a return

Love is...
full of hope
full of kindness
full of thoughts you never could have thought up yourself

Love...
holds dreams for the future
waits patiently
knows that bumps in the road are just bumps
and the journey itself is much more important

Love is...
not afraid
not rude or self-seeking

Love...
forgives right away
and keeps no records of wrong

Love never fails.

Love is opening my heart.
Love is beckoning me to trust...to let go...to dream...to hope...to plan...to get ready...to believe.
Love is casting out all of my fear
and replacing it with peace...the kind that surpasses all understanding.
Love is...once again...teaching me how to live.
