love is........

love is many things to different people.

Love is..

The first drops of rain on the parched, cracked hungry and dry earth,

The early morning mist rising from the lakes or from the moors violet and gold with heather and gorse in all their glory,

The sunset and sunrise silhouetted by the mountains, the star lit sky and the moon when at its fullest,

Thunder and lightning, fireworks and bonfires mmmm toffee apples,

The waves crashing and hurling into the shore and the wind blowing through your hair, birdsong.

A fluffy kitten, puppy, rabbit or guinea pig as they snuggle in on you to sleep

The bouncy excitable Labrador washing you with kissess, spaniel playing endless games of fetch and chasing his tail,

Baby’s’ first steps, smile and giggles the delight in their eyes as you hold them tight, watching them sleep safe and sound,

Your first car a bit beaten up and ropey but all yours just the same, the first wage packet, your new home empty but with so much promise,

Your first kiss! A lovers’ caress, wrinkled, warm and safe grandparents faces

The smells and comforts of home, your favourite food and of course your favourite tipple.

The crash of waves against the coast during the storm, wind blowing through your hair,

Love is………..acceptance for who I am and being me!
