Singing
off key and much, much too loud
Finding
strange shapes in a big fluffy cloud
Staying up
late, laughing along
Or crying
together to your favorite song
Goofily
dancing, not a care in the world
Pictures
together as memories unfurled
Best
friend, daughter, classmate, mother,
Cousin,
brother, sister and other.
The love
we cherish isn’t only romance,
And the
ones in your life weren’t put there by chance.
Let’s
realize that love is the people we know
Ones who
encourage and help us to grow
We share
love with so many, but we seem to forget
Remember
you’re loved; there still is time yet!
This is such a great point, Nancy: Most of the love in our lives isn't romantic, but it's powerful and sustaining and sometimes life-changing. We shouldn't give it short shrift. -- In Hamlet, Shakespeare wrote, "Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried, Grapple them unto thy soul with hoops of steel."
