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
