Love
As we have sprung forward at the beginning of March.
I have been reflecting on the word love and its definition of the word.
The definition of the word love is an intense feeling of deep affection.
The season brings out that and then some.
But despite the definition do we understand how to love?
A friend and I had a conversation about this and how during our lives we've been searching for love.
I mean the love you are supposed o feel according to the movies, the toes curling love. and yet we are now in our 50s and have still experienced that type of love.
I have spent the last three years trying to accept and love myself with all my faults.
I am not perfect nor have I ever thought I was perfect, in my head I created a love that was perfect with the husband and the white picket fence.
And it has yet to happen for me and a few others I know.
Love doesn't judge or criticize you for just being who you are.
Love doesn't go away or stop because a person isn't feeling you.
Love is unconditional and can bring you unmatched joy.
The best part is love is forever and lasting when it comes from a place of pure and unwavering.
Spring has sprung and with that knowledge, this love will find you, and when it does be prepared to receive a gift of the greatest joy.
Live, love, laugh

My body is precious to me worth more than silver or gold
it's meant to be touched, caressed, and held.
My body which God has made a stranger came along and stole it away.
He was more than a thief in the night, he took from me my body, my soul, and m life.
In fear of any man who I think will hurt me.
I'm a hollow shell no longer among the living yet condemned to an adult hell.
My body is with me where ever I go but the ghosts of that night won't let me go.
My body which God has made is a temple of my womanhood.
My body which God has made will no longer I run and hide, it wasn't your fault I tried my best to fight him off, I was a child what was I to do?
My body which God has made no more a prisoner or any man's slave.
I'm free from the demon who stole my innocence.
I was put on this earth to love and be loved.
not another man taking my body and then leaving.
This man wasn't foreign to me he was my love, my king my husband so to speak.
Lying on the bed battered and bruised.
What form of animal could do such a thing destroying in his path another human being.
Cause he thought with his penis without a worry about what it could do to my life.
My body which God has made I've returned from my shallow grave.
A woman despite what a so-called man took from me.
I live, I love and one day will write a book.
To let other women who've been raped know we're survivors we've escaped because of God's grace.
I find freedom in the father's wisdom for he has made me who I am.
Lord in heaven makes me whole.
My body is more precious than silver and gold.
My body is my body and I am more than my body.
Men took my body without me being able to say yes or no.
My body which God has made
I'm no man's prisoner or slave.
My body is my body to give to someone who will love me despite my scars of the past.
My body is my jewel, my treasure.
I will always love and protect and love my body!
because we are more than our bodies.
