Love signs

Each kiss a little longer
hands running through my hair
a massage of my shoulder
a whisper in my ear

hugs are that much tighter
gifts come with thoughtful care
the lifts are so much higher
the intimate things we share

welcome touches when we lie
lingering snuggles tight in bed
brushing tears when we cry
loving words never left unsaid

closing off the world around us
the opening of our own
full of love and trust
a permanent inner glow

holding hands whenever walking
some teasing and much fun
lost in each others eyes when talking
there’s no doubt about true love signs none

Trust, hope and happiness

Our hearts long to trust and be trusted.” Karl Jaspers.

What is the human world without trust? It is a world of lies and deceit that has lost its common purpose. Only in sharing the truth can there be trust. Without trust there can be no hope, no true happiness.

Every one of us seeks trust. If we feel we can no longer find it in our leaders or institutions, we must seek it out in each other. It is there we will find trust, hope and happiness.
