To Be Loved - POTD

To be loved
is to be a wildflower
blooming in springtime. 
How wondrous to be much desired
by all the honeybees in the meadow. 
There's no greater wealth on all of earth.
That feeling,
that inexplicable feeling
is like being all wrapped up
in warm sateen sheets. 
Oh, what a thrill it is
to be loved, unconditionally.
It's like being sung to all at once 
by the robins of the universe;
words can't possibly describe it.
Is it crazy to imagine 
it feels like a walk across 
heaven's pearly gates?
Is it but the loveliest of dreams 
one would rather die
than awake from?
Oh, I bet it is.
I know this much is true,
it's heavenly to be loved 
by you.
