One to Love

inspired as i watched a TV show where an elderly lady had a nephew who truly cared about her etc..anyway I was moved and longed to know that I and everyone would have the same

Everyone should have


Another who holds them dear


In good times or in bad


In times of agreement or of discord


 


All should know that they are loved


For who they are,


Not for dishes washed or garbage taken to the curb


Not only for heat in the vents and responsibilities kept


 


One should be known and loved by at least one other


Who know what makes them smile and laugh


And especially that which causes their tears


All should have a hand to hold


By one who knows when that hand is needed

When we truly love another, both lives are truly blessed. It's easy to love family and friends, but those who [for whatever reason] are outcasts needs our love just as much. Good words to live by. Thank you, Karen.
