Silence Is Golden

Poem Of The Week

When in a relationship, sometimes we think we have fallen in love with a person because of their humor or intelligence. We focus on the big things that attracted us to that person. But the longer we’re with someone, the more we realize it’s the smallest things that take our breath away. The way our partner looks at us, the way they smile at us, the simple moments of sitting together in silence. The small things have the power to build a mighty relationship. What is one small thing your partner that you love?

It is not your conversation
That keeps me entertained
But rather the way you look at me
That makes me feel sustained
It's the curve of your lips
And the curl of your hair
T'is all of the little things
That make me stop and stare

It.........
