Sometimes, love, just is.
We can’t explain it or define it.
We don’t know why it happens,
We just have it.
I don’t need a reason to love.
But
He gives them to me every day.
Humor.
Patience.
Acceptance.
Tolerance.
Generosity.
Truth.
Encouragement.
Love doesn’t always give us reason or make sense.
I don’t take for granted
That I love,
And it
Just
Is.
I have a need to explore parts of this world I have not yet known, and I can’t help but pause in my new discoveries to appreciate what I need not search for.
He is there.

A wise woman appreciates and celebrates the treasures she holds in her heart. Thank you for the reminder, Colleen.
Thank you Russ. I do treasure, and wonder sometimes, if I don’t express that enough.
Colleen, I read this just after posting a poem of my own. A poem which began to open me up again as I wrote it a few weeks ago. As I read this I could feel my body temperature rise, warmth radiating from my heart out to my limbs. So simple. So guileless. So true.
Thank you Carolin. It really is so simple. I’m glad it emanated within you. I appreciate your reaction (and words to describe it!).
yes –
😀
You are my reason
That is love. 🙂
THank you Doc Momma. It sure feels like it. 🙂
Pause and appreciate. Yes.
I try to Jim, though the poor husband is MUCH better at that than I am. 🙂
Wonderful poem, Colleen!
Thank you Priceless 🙂
Beautiful Colleen, if every marriage or partnership had that love there would be less divorce and seperation. Well penned.♥♥
Thank you Salpa58. I think you’re right about that. If we fed back as much positive as we do our upsets and frustrations….what a different world it would be.
You are one lucky woman, Colleen. I don’t understand that old saying not to wear your heart on your sleeve. How can you not when you hold such love and joy? ❤ ❤ ❤
Thank you Tess. I really do know I’m lucky. Very lucky. Him? Not so much. Hahahahahaha. I’m kidding. He keeps telling me he’s lucky 🙂 ❤
S.w.e.e.t. ❤ ❤ ❤ I love real love stories.
Me too 🙂

You are indeed lucky.What a lovely tribute. As the years have passed I’ve begun to appreciate ‘himself’ more and more.

How sweet Colleen – I’m sure you give him reasons everyday to love you too. ❤

Awwww…..well the thing is, I probably don’t! But he loves me anyway. That makes me very lucky. 🙂 Thank you Diana!
Everyone should show appreciation for their special someone’s. If someone has family to fill in the holes, like I do, be grateful! 🙂
I am so very grateful Robin, that is for sure!
Beautiful Love Poem! Love is a wonderful feeling.

This is beautiful Colleen!
Thank you Heart 🙂
He is indeed there, and, so obviously, an integral part of you. Is that him pondering on the bridge?
It is indeed Peter. We had a fabulous day together. 🙂
How important to recognize the inspiration behind our loves, even as we recognize we can’t explain or define it! So lovely, Colleen.
Thank you Debra. I have to say, he was gobsmacked. 🙂
