FINDING LOVE (poem) by Dolores Dawes on AuthorsDen

Reviewed on May 12, 2006

Hi Dolores,

One of my siblings (who is really spiritual) recently gave me a description of love. I share it with you:

Love has a different tune: I love you, therefore you are free to do as you wish. My love says you cannot do any wrong in my sight. My love says you cannot hurt me for it would not wish to make you responsible for the way I feel. My love says I am here for you if you want me, or I can be gone if that is what you wish. My love does not depend on your performance to exist - it depends entirely on a choice I make, moment by moment. My love accepts that you may even come to hate me for what I am and it is strong enough not to compromise itself to please you. My love cannot be manipulated. My capacity to love is infinite and is not bound by your feelings or desires.

Thank you for sharing your sentiments. Love and peace to you,

Regis

Well done, it seems we have to find the one masquerading as an angel of light before we can recognize the true light.

Thanks for sharing

God Bless You and Your Loved Ones

Well done, Dolores! I have found in my work with hurting people, especially women, that loving oneself is the key to loving others. That is what Jesus meant when He said "Love your neighbor as yourself." You put a lot of thought into this work.

Excellent write and the last paragraph sums it all up and is the key that we often miss.
