Sorrowful Benevolence
I can make you happy...I'm really good at that.
I will listen when you talk and give you honest, caring feedback.
I will cook you food, feed you fresh bread, yummy things.
I will rub your aching muscles, scratch your back til you fall asleep.
I will love your children and guide them in their growing.
I will give you the space you need to be inside your head.
I will embrace the parts of you that you have trouble accepting in yourself.
I am gifted in other people's happiness; and yet...
I cannot find my own.

Probably was for many years, but living vicariously can only take you so far😉

Wonderful poetry, simple definition of truly caring, unselfish love - love the one you with, and if that's you, "love yourself as you'd love one another," hey it's in the holy scriptures

It feels like it "should" be enough, doesn't it....and yet......
I feel this. As always. You seem to write from MY heart, I think. Glad someone does because nothing's coming out of my pen these days!

Not much is coming from my pen either...ebb in flow in everything;)
So funny how it seems hard (for me) to deeply connect with people in the "real"word, but here, so many speak my heart/soul's language. It's probably the type of people drawn to this site, but I also wonder if we could cut through all the bullshit in real life conversations if it would be easier to relate to people...I think I'm a pretty good actress, though😉 I wonder how many people are acting with me?
