21st Century Version



Falling for a feeling 
my beloved soulmate lifetime partner-husband:

Can’t order it online, nor 
Request it
		a feeling 
                solely from one’s tenderness

Kindest man on earth, my father
he provides, he protects, he gives, 
gives, and gives to
his family
              without hesitation
                  unconditionally
	                no agenda

he wants to relieve his daughter’s burden 
he wants to give all to his never-demanding daughter, regardless….
he wants to provide his daughter  - even with insoluble 
       obstacles  -- he still
wants to provide, to give, and to give…..

Real love feels good
Such a fulfilling quality to this ~ authentic experience of love ~
good feeling penetrates to the core
Touching a part of self that has always been there

True love never feels being treated like second
       like sacrifice lamb

simply the recognition, knowing again, of 
       the altruism towards his daughter
       fills my heart with warmth and light
I feel safe
Pure love awakens my devotion for 
my conscientious father

Spread arms wide and receive 
And so in receiving, extend myself in return

Employing this anchored sensation

                    I 
am allowing myself to feel this 
intimate 
honest love from my man:  the 21st century version of my dad
