Life

For I have hurt and been hurt
I have lied and been lied to
I have broken hearts and have mine broken
I have loved and lost
I have lived and given life
I have given to the needy and been needy 
I have cried in pain and despair and I have caused it
I have wanted, needed and longed for
To be loved, cherished and caressed just as I have given all of me

Because, because, oh so because of this I know how it feels and I can finally;
Love
Accept
Appreciate
Laugh
Uplift and help others

I can live, love and experience joy in the smallest things:
The laughter of my children
A flower picked by chubby little fingers
A wet kiss on my cheek
Loving arms arouns my neck
Finally you allowed me to 
Notice
The sound of nature 
See
The joy of happy people
Hear
My favorite song on the radio
Feel
The excitement, freedom, care, happiness and admiration when your eyes meet mine.
Happy celebration of L o v e!!
