Unconditional Love...
It's not dependant upon whether or not it's reciprocated or returned.
It simply...is.
Love is kind and simple.
It forgives, and does not seek vengeance
or retaliation.
It also accepts...without limits
without hesitation.
Love does not try to change people,
and yet, it does change them....most times, for the better.
Love is patient.
It will outlast any troubles, any hardships or heartaches,
if it is true.
And it can wait forever, when paired with Hope.
Love is strong.
It binds with ties of affection and laughter,
drawing us closer without using chains.
Love can withstand any burden, no matter how heavy,
because it is born in the strongest parts of a person ~
the heart and the soul.
Love can be a guide.
For those who are lost and lonely,
drifting or without a light to find their way,
Love will be there.
Love is Honest.
Even when the truth may hurt,
the heart does not lie!
Love will speak truth, but whisper it softly, gently.
Love is powerful and quiet.
It has no need to shout, for it makes its presence known, inside...
where the small voice will persist until heard and acknowledged.
This is unconditional love.
A love that is: kind and simple...forgiving and accepting...patient and hopeful...strong and honest...powerful and quiet.
If you follow your heart, love can guide you.
It is as rare as all the jewels of the Earth,
and more precious because it is given freely...unconditionally.
Always.
