Worthy of Love

Worthy of Love ....each of us has the ability to love and be loved.... dove

Footprints In The Mind

From time to time
A stranger appears,
And presses a button
Churning within us.

But it's not so much that person,
As it is our interpretation
Of what they can mean to our life.

That makes our throat dry,
Our speech hesitant,
But worst of all,
Makes us so very, very, vulnerable.

~The Dawning~

After awhile you learn the subtle difference
between holding a hand and chaining soul.

And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning
and company doesn't mean security.
You begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts
and presents aren't promises,

and you begin to accept your defeats
with your head up and your eyes open,
with the grace of a woman,
not the grief of a child,

and you learn to build your roads on today,
for tomorrow's ground is to uncertain for plans,
and futures have a way
of falling down in mid-flight.

After a while you learn
that even sunshine burns
if you get to much.

So you plant your own garden
and decorate your own Soul,
instead of waiting
for someone to bring you flowers.

And you learn
that YOU
really can endure,
that YOU
really are strong,
and YOU
really do have worth!

And you learn....and you learn...
with every good-bye
you learn!

~JoAnn Lenhoff~

Love is very patient and kind,
never jealous or envious,
never boastful or proud,
never haughty or selfish or rude.

Love does not demand its own way.
It is not irritable or touchy.
It does not hold grudges
and will hardly even notice when others do it wrong.

It is never glad about injustice,
but rejoices whenever truth wins out.
If you love someone you will be loyal to him
no matter what the cost.

You will always believe in him,
Always expect the best of him,
and always stand your ground in defending him.

All the special gifts and powers from God
will someday come to an end,
But Love Goes On Forever.

Maybe someday I'll be lucky enough
To hold you in my arms,
Rather than just in my mind.

Maybe someday I'll trade in empty dreams,
For the thrill of one night's memories.

And the cold of the world,
Will be shattered by your warmth.
