“Every now and then,
when the world sits just right,
a gentle breath of heaven
fills my soul with delight…”

What does love look like? It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks like.  ~ Saint Augustine

Nobody really knows how much anyone else is hurting.
We could be standing next to someone who is completely broken,
doing their best not to let it show and we’d never know.
So, be kind always.
With yourself, and others..

Love is really a truly lasting treasure

When its birthplace is a selfless heart

It becomes a beautiful blossoming light

Whose pure loveliness will never depart

It has the ability to inspire each new morning

As its sweet essence showers one’s heart within

With its magical touch one might find heaven

As the new days tender rhapsody happily begins

Its joyous melodies will find a way to provide

The birthing of many new beautiful smiles

While a heart in love gives life to new words

Whose blessing lets one know they are worthwhile.

As one truly acknowledges this precious treasure

They find in this world no value can be placed

On this sweet new power embracing one’s heart

Leaving its mark deep within never to be erased.
