REFLECTIONS
Share Yourself with Those You Love
Smile each day for those you love.
Let them know by the brightness of your face.
that you are happy they’re in your life.
Even if there are times when you argue and disagree.
Touch each day those you love.
Hold them close, even if briefly.
The human touch is one of the most
Comforting things in our world,
and one of the most reassuring.
Speak softly each day to those you love.
Those whispers of intimacy
that tell them what you say are important,
but meant for the ears
and their ears only.
Allow yourself to be vulnerable to those you love.
It is a most frightening experience
to be without shields, but it can
also be the most wonderful thing
in the world to find another holds your spirit
carefully within their heart.
Believe that you deserve those you love.
Your love is the most precious gift
that you can bestow on another human.
You deserve to be loved in return,
without constraints, without reserve.
Be honest with those you love.
Let them know how important they are in your life.
Take care that they never have to guess
at what you think and feel.
There may come a time when they walk away…
and then would you regret
not telling them? In all possible ways?
