Creative Challenge # 101 - Because I love

Because I love, I watch from a distance
Watch you as you fall
I hope you know you could  always get up
Brush off the dust,
And keep walking to where you want to go.

Because I love, I stayed silent
As you threw the words in anger
I hoped the aftermath would clear your vision
Start you thinking through before saying
Making it easier for you to Walk the Talk.

Because I love, I held you without putting my arms around you
As you made life changing decisions
I hope you know, you are free always
To stay or leave, to receive or give without asking
Learning how to stay and give without losing yourself.

Because I love, I put my faith in you
As you faced the storm,
I hoped you know, to trust yourself always
What ever happens, theres a way to work things through
Learning about yourself is what you are here for.

Because I love, I am here
Seen without seeing
Being without being
Holding without holding
Just Because, I love.

Beautiful, Rashmi. Just curious, were you thinking about your kids when you wrote this? Sounds like perfect words from a parent to his or her kids. Of course, it could also be said to an adult, too. But for some reason it made me think of the parent/child relationship... letting kids test the waters, reassuring them you will be there when they are done, etc. Love is like that, always present, even when its recipients are absent.

You express such beautiful sentiments here; I also heard the voice of a loving parent. Whomever, it is obviously a voice of love.

Thank you Dannete, Lynne and Jackie and Jo.

@ Jo, Yes it was my children I was thinking about, mostly, except for the third stanza, for that I had thoughts of relationships in general, the general feeling of "tied" that it gives off while most want to break free.
