I hope you find love
In my eyes each time you see them
Even when I tell you to pick up your room
Or not be too late
Drink enough water
And eat balanced meal
I Hope you find love
When you step amidst the trees
And the breeze brushes softly across your skin
On what feels like the worst day
I hope you find love
In the gentle caress of a puppy’s tongue
The joyful race to the door when you walk through the door
And the prickly hair scattered across your bed
I hope that you find love
In the nuzzle of a horse’s velvet nose
The trumpet of his call when you arrive
The feel of the wind in your hair when you ride
I hope you find love
In the passion of a new kiss
Excitement building with each glance
And touch of fingers
That’s the easiest time to think you’ve found love
That overpowering feeling
But it’s not just there
I hope you find love
In the graceful quiet
Of friendship
Sitting separately doing work
Or collaborating on tedious chores
I hope you find love
That makes you laugh when things feel awful
The kind that knows just what to say
When there are no words
I hope you find love
Early and long
The kind that grows stronger with each challenge
And just when you think you’ve had enough
It peaks around the corner
And pulls you into it’s arms
I hope you find love
That feels like forever
But takes years to grow
I hope you find love
That embraces hard times
And notices every facet of your incredible character
I hope you find love
That has no need for makeup
For trend setting clothes or fads
But finds fun in dabbling
In good food and friends
I hope you find love
That is quiet and soft
But knows when to turn up the volume
Of your favorite song
Just to see you dance in the shadows
And join your rhythm as one long note
True love is hard and soft
Unique and lasting
Loyal and reassuring
Familiar and excitingly new
Love like the stillness of a puddle
After the wind has stopped
And the sun reflects clean adoration in a gradient of light
Your heart will experience a few rubs, bumps and minor cracks
Before you feel whole
Then you’ll realize what true love is
So listen to the songs
And watch the love-struck movies
Fantasize about Cinderella and Prince Charming
The knight on his white horse
Just don’t lose your head for too long
Let your pure heart lead you
And don’t get stuck in a loop
I hope you find love
That is loyal
Accountable
Pure
And true
But mostly
I hope you find the love
Inside you
