Do, Look and See.

When the rain

Is blowing in your face

And the whole world

Is on your case

I could offer you

A warm embrace

To make You feel my Love

Do you sometimes feel powerless and useless when you aren't able to offer your beloved ones the kind of material support they need? What you can do is simply to love. Sadly, love is like a vague term that many people use without even a slightest thought. It's hard to feel, understand and illustrate the depth of love completely with your imagination and actions. It doesn't mean that you can be lazy though. The way into love can be simplified if you dedicate enough of your heart and soul to think of the little happiness for the ones you hold dear. Ideas are abundant, just waiting for effort to be applied.

A phone call. A sudden visit. A red umbrella for a rainy day. A sweet little gift on no special occasion. A 'tell me where it hurts' when things go wrong. A long silent but perfectly comfortable moment together. A deep look into the eyes. A touch of inspiration. A praise from the bottom of your heart. A hug of warmth. Or a kiss of affection. Anything will do as all the little things will accumulate and create a great impact on the other person's life with every minute passing by. Oh yes, it's love.

Without love, you wouldn't be selfless enough to give so much unconditionally only to bring someone genuine happiness. You would avoid problems not involving yourself with one or two lines pretending to care. You would put yourself first and blame anyone anytime you feel like. You would apologize without thinking and perhaps buy something expensive to cover up. Without love, you would say the empty three words repeatedly just to make it sound alright. How sad.

Still, it's a huge gap from theory to practice. Not many are born love givers, and we human are more or less selfish. Besides, when you give too much love constantly, it's true that people tend to take it for granted. Thus, choices of who to receive your genuine dedication is much needed. Other than your very one and only family, plus one or two very best friends, there is the significant other. It is okay if you've been through unsuccessful experiences some of which might have scarred your heart. Instead of continuing the chain and carving scars on more hearts, just don't stop loving sincerely until fate brings you the-one in return _ someone who loves you exactly the same way, or even far more than you can ever think of. Who knows?

Remember money counts but doesn't touch and hold, love does. Do the little things, look and see.

P.S. I love you, Gary.
