The Value of Keeping Good Company

April 7, 2023 by Rogier 17 Comments

“Love” by Roy Croft

A Poem for the Day for Her Lightfamily From the Seer

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 there,
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.

    Just gorgeous… how fortunate and grateful I feel to read this poem selected for us and I must say this is also how I feel about our beloved Seer Almine and the members of our magnificent lightfamily who are scattered around the globe. It is deeply soothing to be given the words which illustrate this enduring love we share… πŸ˜πŸ™ŒπŸΌ
