Genuine Love

When love that is genuine,
open-hearted and generous,
touches me, I always want to cry.
While at the same time,
I feel a sense of wonder and real
thankfulness in knowing one
who gives in such a way . . . to me.
Whatever the gift that is given,
it is the giver, the thought
and way in which they give the
gift, that makes the gift itself,
truly valued and appreciated.
If all of us could love in the same way,
we would transform the world.
As it is, it is an honour and a privilege
to know those that do.
