HGT LOVE
Written by Pam on April 3, 2016
As we all know that there are many things in life that hold that ‘like’ space; but there are only a few that hold the absolutely love space – In my world, I adore and love my family, my friends, my dogs and my poetry!
Above are pictures of our HGT dogs showing their love for each other and for us. Remember a dog will never lie about love and/or hide their feelings – they exert the love they get and give through their actions!
I have blogged this poem before, but I want everyone that views our blogs to read it, appreciate it and love it like I do! This poem is entitled LOVE by Roy Croft. (Keep in mind this poem was written in the early 1930’s!)
LOVE – by Roy Croft
I love you, not only for what you are but for what I am when I am with you.
I love you, not only for what you have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me.
I love you for the part of me that you bring out; I love you for putting your hand into my heaped-up heart and passing over all the foolish, weak things that you can’t help dimly seeing here, and for drawing out into the light all the beautiful belongings that no one else had looked quite far enough to find.
I love you because you are helping me to make of the lumber of my life not a tavern but a temple; out of the works of my every day not a reproach but a song.
I love you because you have done more than any creed could have done to make me good, and more than any fate could have done to make me happy.
You have done it without a touch, without a word, without a sign. You have done it by being yourself. Perhaps that is what being a friend means, after all.
Enjoy, Pam
