#52 You Are Loved

courtesy sunshizzle

You are loved.

Many people don't believe this,

maybe because they never heard it

but I wager you've seen it in actions

you never took any notice of.

A smile in the morning,

a hot meal prepared in the evening,

a quick hug and peck on

the cheek...

the constant chatter

from your child

who wants you to

know every detail

about their day

just because

you matter..

You are loved.

Do you know this?

Just for a moment,

take time

to reflect on small actions

you take so easily for granted.

A short text

that asks

What's up with you today?

That person who sits by your side silently

even though you tell them to go away

That friend

who calls to talk

and when it’s your turn

really listens

because to them,

it’s important...

all that you have to say.

That someone who tries to explain

even though they really

don't have to

just to show that

it’s important for them to know

that you want to understand them too.

Spontaneous jokers

that leave you breathless

while laughing,

someone who leaves work

because you don't feel well

and brings those menthol drops

you hate

to help with that coughing...

You are loved.

Don't ever forget this.

When the afternoon shadows seem darker

and the air seems more chilled than usual.

You may not have heard

the words,

but somehow, in

someway you have felt love's touch.

Someone has shown you

You've just never noticed them;

or never even listened with your heart

that much

Love lightly knocks

on different doors

to all of which you hold the keys

but if you never use them

you'll never notice the

way love speaks...

So today;

just for this moment

think of the actions

you’ve been shown

and take notice

that

you are loved...

But do you love in return?
