Whatever Makes You Feel Loved

Smile from a teacher
Laugh from an excited toddler
Snuggle from a kitty 
Lick from a puppy 
Are all beautiful things to me

Hug from a good friend
Pat from a mentor or someone who knows me well 
Wiggly looks from a lover 
Affection from a spouse, child or grandchild 
People who make me feel loved for who I am  

Hot chili fixed my way with corn and potatoes
Jalapeno peppers because I love them
Lemon meringue pie
Coconut cake
Are all beautiful things to me 

My art work in neon colors
Black lights to make them pop
Mural I painted on my wall
My poetry
My cartoons
Hobbies that make me feel loved for who I am 

Whatever gives you joy
Whatever uplifts others
Whatever inspires you
Whatever helps someone else
Whatever makes you feel joyful, are all beautiful things!

I know what I love because those are the things I do and what I aspire to do.
