The gift of love often moves within my life
and yet, often I do not see it.
Then in sadness do I seek this gift,
crying to the Creator and asking,
Where Creator is there love within my life?
Often times my Soul then speaks gently to me,
whispering words of comfort and guidance.
“ Look around you child
and you shall see the abundance of love
held within this moment for you
to see and know.”
Upon seeking and seeing
I see my Soul is correct
and where before I did not see love,
now I see it in abundance.
In my mind, I take out the memories
of my children and their entrance
here in life with me.
I look around me and I behold
the beauty of nature
and know this too is love.
In the smile of a stranger
do I know myself as seen.
In the words of others
do I remember my self
in a place of balance and grace.
The gift of love is always here.
It merely waits for me to see it
and unwrap it
to keep close to me
and remind my self…
the gift of love is
always here.
