In conversation with my Mother yesterday,
You have a birthday coming up, she says to me
(it\u2019s still very much a month away)<\/em>
well, hopefully I will call you then

even if you don\u2019t, I tell her (one more time)<\/em>
I don\u2019t keep score<\/p>\n\n\n\n

True
I am not one to tally points
don\u2019t have a competitive bone
in my
body<\/p>\n\n\n\n

don\u2019t keep track of wrongs and
rights
of who did what and
when
also happen to not
have a very good memory for such things
so if you ARE one such tally-er
and I have somehow missed
or consequently
forgotten
a thing,
well, chances are I may have, lost a few gold stars
from my chart<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and that\u2019s ok<\/p>\n\n\n\n

my love language, to use a
phrase of the day
is just that\u2026\u00a0 love
and really of the unconditional sort<\/p>\n\n\n\n

love is in my language, and most certainly
always
in my intention<\/p>\n\n\n\n

even, I will say
on days, when I may have retreated
to the farthest and deepest corners of my cave
where I have hung my sign
to NOT
be
bothered
when I have most assuredly, and ever so firmly
bolted the door

yet,
should you happen by
and possibly, quite cautiously
slip a bit paper under the door
to say that you
are in need
or perhaps I may have just caught a glimpse of
despair
through my small window<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would still, most definitely
respond
with my love for you<\/p>\n\n\n\n

maybe even,
in my own sort-of-way, I would,
wrap my arms around you
tilt our heads up to that brightest bit of blue
and just quietly, while we breathe in
this day<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I might say to you,
in an almost whispered kind of way,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just look at that sky!  Do you see\u2026 what I see!?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

it’s still love

and this…
this day,
was not to be missed \u2665<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
