Small gestures

allow love to flow

feeding my spirit

helping it to grow

A gift of flowers

some small colorful weeds

from a five year old

loving good deed

Learning to ride a bike

a unique milestone

running behind me

to make sure I got home

Listening to a record

of music one does not like

knowing the lyrics

to express love on sight

Giving up a ballgame

to be involved in the swim team

cheering me on

watching your smile beam

Tying shoe laces

when I injured my back

assurances of healing

there was no lack

Bringing my drinks

opening doors

a gentleman forever

holding my hand by the shore

Playing the guitar

singing gospel songs

together in harmony

knowing I belong

Whispers in wind

presences felt from above

gifts from friends and family

knowing I am forever loved
