Prayer on Love

I think kindly of the itchy way the sun makes my nose feel,

Crinkled and warm and whole.

Cool breeze on a spring evening.

Dear Lord, 

I love so much I could explode.

On days without the people I care for, I admit I feel so empty I want to live in that crinkly sun feeling.

(I wonder often what they think of me, too)

All I hope to give them is a little warmth–

Provide them some comfort and care

(Something others, I hope, will do for them when I’m away).

I pray someone is always there to care for them, to love them (and hopefully better than me).

Dear Lord, 

I fear coming off too strong,

But I want to hold them by the face and press my cheeks to theirs.

I want to scream at them how much I feel.

(And I feel crazy, most days 

But I know, at least, it’s genuine) 

I LOVE YOU!

I LOVE YOU!

PLEASE ALLOW ME TO LOVE YOU!
