So, so true. it is much the same with do gooders, when they go around saying what they have done for poverty, or climate change, or drugs, always think they know best and show off about their deeds. it is like you haven't done it if you boast about it! the same principle applies to love, you just know you love that person, and you have no reason to poove it, you both know! I re-read this poem a few times, much wisdom in what you say my friend, Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Amen my friend. It doesn't mean much if there is no action to show it. Some people can say I love you but then you aren't the only one they say that to. Then again if you never hear it said you wonder why. My husband of 55yrs. never says I love you and says it's because he isn't demonstrative but if he is angry he can be demonstrative up a blue streak. That's not good either. Good write. God Bless, JB

Those small things are the most important parts of the big pictures. Well written, Alexis.

Oh, how true, Alexis. I think we also get our greatest rewards from good deeds done, but known only to us. It's that inner feel-good feeling.

Indeed, so true, dear Alexis. Your wonderfully expressive pen captures the "behind-the-scenes" quality of the pure and real aspect of love. Beautiful, my sweet friend. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
