THE KIND OF LOVE YOU DESERVE
You have come to know
Like a gleam that stretches the closer you get to the light
You have become aware of the truth
Seen it, held it, cradled it in your heart
With every breath you took that brought in the fullness of life
With every wink of a new day born
And the sigh of a long day spent
With every whisper of nature that makes you who you are
You have come to know
The kind of love you deserve.
It is a love that is rich in rhymes and full of melody
The love of poetry and tales as old as time
The love that drove battleships to Troy and defied gods
A love that takes up arms when you’re threatened
Because your well-being is what it believes in.
It is the love that walks on the beach
And beholds all your dreams so breathlessly within reach
It is a love of warm sunshine and showers of rain
A love of crackling desires that seek to take a chance with you
Even when you do not know what the next step is.
It is the love that looks at you and sees you
The love that reaches for you and needs you
A love that promises to grow into a family
A love of worlds so bright
All you do is laugh and hold tight to each other.
It is a love of tough times and unspoken words
Because your hearts are one with the pain
It is a love that endures all the heartaches of the day
A love of kisses goodnight, warm embraces and loving at night
When every touch is about a recovery of what was lost.
You have come to know this truth
About the love you deserve
You have seen it, held it, cradled it in your heart
You know this truth
Because it is the kind of love you have to give.
