I am Loved

I am illuminated and
surrounded by all those who love me
I wrap myself in their wisdom and wishes
memories and magic
support and security

each person
each memory
has woven together a intricate picture
of what love looks like
and how it feels

for here in this fortress for my soul
I can retreat, rest and relax
from all that life demands

this is a place where my darkest of days
fade and brilliant images of an amazing life
dedicated to love and loving
replace them

it is a safe place where
my shoulders lower
my head lifts
and my heart learns
once again what is really important to me
as I live and love this precious life
