A poem by Agnes Elizabeth Owens
Easy to take feelings for granted
Assuming others cared for disenchanted
They are often cognizant of our feeling
“I love you” gift given to set heart reeling.
An important part of nurturing
A loving relationship maturing
Few people tire being told they are loved
“I love you” as a caress and not shoved.
Words take relationship to next level, phase
Reaffirm, strengthen a steady bond always
Without expectation of a return investment
Vulnerability not assessment.
”I love you” a gift from the heart
An offering unconditional and smart.
