Unconditional Selfless Love

Unconditional Selfless Love Encourages, uplifts, forgives, and bestows. Good gifts of the soul expect no personal rewards. These gifts are “heart-gifts”. The gifts of love and kindness Given to me by you, Poetry Soup Poets Made my hospitalization pass quickly. You cheered me up And helped me recover more quickly. Love like this is pure and selfless. It exemplifies how much love is possible between hearts. It is the first joy of wonderful friendships, It exemplifies an individual step to world peace. “Heart gifts” are love, freely shared with others. During my hip replacement surgery your love, prayers, phone calls, and poems, Demonstrated great love for me, your fellow human…. Hospital staff noticed and commented upon such an outpouring of care and love. (I of course knew that it is because poets have good hearts and we on the soup love one another and share kindnesses… always….) Thus your love brought joy not only to me, But to others who witnessed your kind ways, too. In the past, I have said world peace comes one heart at a time. And you, my poetry soup poet friends, understand and exemplify love “one heart at a time.” Thank you, my loving friends for your prayers, mail, calls, poems and good wishes that brought me more joy than you could ever imagine. Thank you for being there for me. I am home!!! Miracles happen and I am on my way to a blessed and speedy recovery. I am filled with joy from your kindness. Your love is reflecting from within me. Thank you. Lovingly, Dane Ann
