What You Are Expected to Give

In keeping with Valentines Day, I would like to share a poem entitled "Love". This beautiful poem was written by Patricia Walter:

LOVE

Love is a gentle caring

a quiet concern

deeply hidden in the heart.

A presence always felt

everyday, every minute, every hour.

Love is a gentle embrace

between body and soul.

A quiet touch of the hand

a soft hug by warm arms

a caress of two souls.

Love is a great passion

between hungry hearts.

The intimate exchange

between mind, body and soul. 

Love is always caring 

always growing

always being there.

Love is a wonderful gift 

shared by two blessed souls

experiencing Heaven on Earth. 

As you actively see your plans through this Valentine Day weekend, remember the words of Katherine Hepburn who said, "Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get - only with what you are expecting to give - which is everything."
