Maybe this might have poetry...
I don't quite know how to explain it, but there has been something that's just been tugging at my heart recently. I have no idea what to write either, and I'm sure no one will even read it or pay it any mind, so I don't even know why I'm writing.
The ABC's of Love
"I accept you as you are."
"I believe you are valuable."
"I care when you hurt."
"I desire only what is best for you."
"I erase all offenses."
We could call that the ABC's of love, and I don't know of anybody who would turn his back on such magnetic, encouraging statements.
There is nothing shallow about authentic love. Nor is it a magic wand we whip out and wave over a problem with a whoosh, hoping all the pain will go away. Real love has staying power. Authentic love is tough love. It refuses to look for ways to run away. It always opts for working through. It doesn't cop out because the sea gets stormy and rough. It's fibrous and resilient....While the world around us gives us the opposite counsel, love stands firm.
Maybe I'll write more later today.
