Who am I to be loved

To open my eyes and see trees of every color

Details where beauty lies

Love avoids the rush

But upholds art of noticing

Of being present

Love is time wasted in one space too long

And running nowhere just to win a race

Love is being alone and being thankful

Love is a hug from a stranger

Holding hands with a parent no matter the age

Love is seeing little kids get messy in the mud and being jealous of their freedom

Love is getting in the mud yourself

It is laughing at your mistakes

And crying with your people

And trying to hide your smile but someone knows how to bring it out

It is patient

And it is beautiful

Sometimes it’s hard to see

But like the wind it is there

Intertwining every way that is made before you

True love is not found from one person

Or a place or an heirloom

It is timeless and strong

Love is gold that surpasses the limit of money

Love is from above

Created and knitted by our creator

Who sprinkles it down from the heavens

If only people weren’t always looking down
