i believe in love

that above all else love is the key

that unlocks the secrets to everything

that love is what we are all searching for

what we seek

even when we don't realise it.

i believe in love that comes in many guises

that we are not always aware when love stands before us,

that sometimes we shun the very thing we seek

because we do not recognise it

in the form that it presents itself.

i believe that love dresses itself

in the garments that best represent

what we need to learn at this time

that love can arrive in the form of

challenge

humility

sacrifice

laughter

tears

joy

fears

happiness

sadness

suffering

birth

death

and in her most treasured form... love

that we are so busy looking

we forget to see,

that we are so in the future

or in the past

that we do not see what is right in front of us

that each step, each minute

is the lesson we are supposed to be concentrating on

that if we focus on right here and now

and not on before or after

we will find love in everything we do

and we will give love in everything we do.

We must remember this

we shall never truly know love, the real depth and breadth of her reach

until we are able to truly love ourselves

wholly and completely

without judgement

when we can do that we will see love everywhere

for we will be looking with the eyes of love

and they eyes of love do not find fault

within or without

they see with compassion and understanding.

above all else

i believe in love.
