It takes time
for you to see the light,
when you have been too long
walking in the dark.
It takes time
to appreciate
what is in front of you
when your eyes are riveted
to the farthest view.
It takes time to appreciate
what love really is
when you ignore the whispers
of your heart.
Take a moment to see –
the feel of a cold morning
on your face,
the beauty of the dawn,
the wonder of a sunrise
breaking on the horizon.
Take a moment to feel –
the innocent kiss of a child
the warm embrace
the tight hugs.
For they speak to you
of love.
