We have once again reached that day where people all over the world pay tribute to their “other half”. It is also a day that might trigger utter loneliness for those that are still alone for whatever reason. However, this is for all the people who have found their soul mate and celebrate having such a person in their lives. And if you have found your soul mate, remember: be grateful for the fact you have someone to celebrate, for too many cannot celebrate this day, either because they’ve lost their soul mate or, have yet to have such a person enter their lives. Make sure you don’t take the person in your life for granted – and make sure they don’t take you for granted, either. I hope there are many who can relate to the following poem. If not, don’t despair – your life isn’t over yet.
YOU
You are a memory deep inside
You are a vision I see far and wide
You are my past, my present and my future
You are something that I will always treasure
You are my life, my whole being
You sustain me when I hunger
You quench me when I thirst
You pick me up when I fall
And put me back together when I break
You are my body and my soul
You are my whole being
You hold me tenderly
And comfort me spiritually
You know my thought even before I think them
My actions even before I do them
You understand my every need
And you fulfill them
I depend on you
I rely on you
Without you I am lost
I am half a person, half a life, half a soul
You make my life complete and I love you

Until next time,
