Expressing Your Love – vol. 6

Love is a powerful emotion. It can overtake us. It can overwhelm us. But there is something extraordinary that happens when you find your soul mate. This reading embodies soulmates. It’s finding your perfect complement…the person who brings out the best of you and knows your innermost desires. It’s not about losing yourself in the other person, but finding gratitude in your forever best friend.

I love you,
Not only for what you are
But for what I am
When I am with you.

I love you,
Not only for what
You have made of yourself
But for what
You are making of me.

I love you,
For the part of me
That you bring out;
I love you,
For putting your hand
Into my…heart
And passing over
All the foolish, weak things
That you can’t help
Dimly seeing there,
And for drawing out
Into the light
All the beautiful belongings
That no one else had looked
Quite far enough to find.

I love you because you
Are helping me to make
Of the lumber of my life
Not a tavern
But a temple;
Out of works
Of my every day
Not a reproach
But a song.
