What would you love in a soulmate?
What would you love in a life partner?
Being honest?
Dependable?
Reliable?
Courteous?
Loyal?
Who wouldn’t want that?
Who would disagree with that?
But I guess the question’s asking another thing.
What would you LOVE?
What would make you smile
like you’ve never smiled before?
What would make you
wanna get up each morning,
and pray that the day may not yet end,
not yet,
but that it may last forever?
What would make you
wanna dream again
or make you believe in dreams again?
A certain melody in her voice perhaps,
a certain laugh;
the way he walks,
the way he holds your hand;
maybe a certain innocence in her eyes,
a certain wonder;
the mysterious way
she combs her hair;
the ravishing way he carries himself
Small wonders perhaps
yet BIG wonders,
things that make you
fall in love
over
and over
again…
The thing about hope is that it’s a positive force that shines the most when it’s dark. When everything’s going well, we hardly notice it’s there. But when things go against us, when our dreams fade and when we see no immediate reprieve from our troubles, that’s when hope does its best work for us.
