"The Look”

You give when you do something wrong
You see in others when you have done something
You have inside when there is no sight
You greet others with is a mask
You have when you hear music that touches deeply

When you experience a loss
When you experience sadness
When your eyes meet for the first time
When you watch them sleep
When it is time for goodbye

After a wondrous moment
After you have held a baby
After the first day of school
After your first heartbreak
After getting that first job

During your first soft kiss
During a cuddle with a loved one
During singing your favourite song
During the moment of pure joy
During the worst pain

The looks are part of sharing you with others

“Tears from You”

Because of you
For you
Without you
Not for you

Tears of frustration
Tears of loss
Tears of anger
Tears of joy

Tears forming
Tears rolling
Tears streaming
Tears, tears, tears

You leave me feeling useless
You leave me feeling tired
You leave me feeling sad
You leave me feeling angry

Tears run down my face

“Missing You”

I entitled you with my love
I entered with my eyes open
I am here to give
I don't want to take

The way your eyes sparkle
The tiny laugh that escapes your lips
The tear that rolls down your cheek
The feel of your touch

Don't walk in fear
Don't tread in worry
Don't keep anger
Don't shed yourself

Be true to yourself
Be loving to you
Be compassionate to others
Be honest in all things

I miss you so much

“I Love You”

You by my side makes me happier than my own happiness,

for that I am great-full.

You have opened my heart, looked inside and didn't run away,

for that I am happy.

You have seen some of my darkest moments and you held me,

for this I am thankful.

You have smiled at me and shown me the beautiful person you are,

for this I am glad.

You have kisses for me that make me forget where I am,

for this I want your kisses.

You have shown me your tears, anger and fears, for this I am here.

You have opened your heart, let me see your love, for this I am blessed.

You have let me hold you and you have held me, for this I feel comforted.

You have let me see behind the mask and I see all of you, for this I love you.

“Pets”

A bird’s song that lifts the soul
A tune to make you sing back
A dog's paw giving comfort
A wagging tail when you play
A cat’s fur against your face
A purr in contentment

A sense of relaxation
A sense of unconditional love
A sense of friendship

A pet is more than just an animal
