You Are Loved

Smile, I'll do it with you
Cry, if I can’t do it with you, 
I’ll provide the tissues to
Help wipe your tears away...

Laugh at the small joys life provides
Even in their miniscule state
Somewhere out there
Someone appreciates them...

Your effort might look ineffective in your eyes
But look through someone else’s eyes
Recognize the love when they look at you…

Know that you are loved, not always uttered,
but always there, always know 
that someone out there loves you…

This may be called Blank Verse, but it's packed with warmth and emotion. Tender writing Wilma >> James :)
