Because I love you

Interesting are the needs of every human being

Hunger’s satisfaction by food in the stomach

Ice cold water quenching the largest of thirst

A sense of safety only a home can bring

But humanity is dependent on more than these

For what can sate the desires of the heart?

Only love can achieve such monumental task

Yet, soured love brings even the strongest bond to its knees

The recipe for nutritious relationships require ingredients

Three sticks of effort, a cup of communication

Two tablespoons of sacrifice, and a pinch of faith

Creation of a healthy connection forms with these elements

A bond without effort is a bird refusing to fly

Lazy partners and friends are worse than none

But, consider looking at one’s own work ethic as well

Endeavor when it comes to a beloved, give them a try

Recognized as the crux of healthy relations is communication

Texting, calling, and talking are all involved, yet

Does that mean the conversation is meaningful, or being heard?

Knowing and understanding loved ones should be everyone’s motivation

Sacrifice is also fundamental to this recipe

The selfless giving of precious time, energy,

And Affection’s endless gentle caresses

These losses will be our gain, and result in prosperity

The last ingredient, a hint of trust

Faith the size of a mustard seed is said

To be able to move the mightiest of mountains

This type of confidence in a partner is a must

To my friends, my family, my loved ones

I give you all my effort, and all my attentiveness

I give you my sacrifices, and my complete trust

All because I love you
