LOVE ME

LOVE ME LIKE A SPRING RAIN,
UNEXPECTED, SHOWERING THE EARTH WITH ITS NOURISHEMENT.

LOVE ME LIKE A ROSE, SOFT AND BEAUTIFUL
AND IN NEED OF CARE

LOVE ME LIKE A CHILD
WHO NEEDS A MOTHER'S HAND TO HOLD
AND A WARM COAT FROM THE COLD.

LOVE ME LIKE A STAR
BRIGHT, TWINKLING
NOTICEABLE IN THE NIGHT.

LOVE ME WITH YOUR HEART
THAT IS SINCERE AND REAL
AND WHAT I SEE IS WHAT I AM GETTING.

LOVE ME LIKE AN OVERCAST DAY
THAT MAY OR MAY NOT RAIN
SIMILAR TO THE LOVE AND PAIN OF LIFE.

LOVE ME WITH OPEN ARMS
ALWAYS READY TO HOLD, HUG AND SQUEEZE
THE BLUES FROM MY TIRED DAY.  I CAN COUNT ON YOUR
ARMS BECAUSE THEY TAKE SOME OF THE PAIN AWAY.

LOVE ME WITH YOUR WORDS
THAT SOOTHE, ENCOURAGE, INSPIRE, CRITICIZE, COMPROMISE
AND UPLIFT ME SO THAT I REACH HIGH.

LOVE ME WITH SWEET ENCOURAGEMENT
POSITIVE THOUGHTS, SMALL GIFTS OF DAISIES PICKED FROM
THE BACKYARD OF YOUR OLD HOUSE.

LOVE ME WITH BOOKS
AND READ THEM TO ME BECAUSE YOU KNOW MY FAVORITE
POET SOOTHES ME AND MAKES ME THINK.

LOVE ME WITH YOUR HANDS REAHING FOR MINE
NO SPECIAL REASON, JUST BECAUSE YOU NEED TO BE CLOSE
AND I NEED THE FEELING OF BEING VALUED.

LOVE ME WITH KINDNESS SHOWN OUT OF NOWHERE
BECAUSE THAT IS THE KIND OF PERSON YOU ARE
SPONTANEOUS, GENEROUS AND SINCERE.

LOVE ME WITH YOUR HEART
THAT BEATS LIKE A CLOCK
AND NEVER STOPS.

LOVE ME.
