ALL MY AFFECTION
By: Justin Farley
I have learned about love
from the way, you have loved me –
embracing my flaws and imperfections,
even when I crumble in self-loathing, ready to accept defeat.
Your compassion dances around me
turn attention away from my often clumsy feet.
Its rhythmic motions sway in a relaxed manner,
abounding even when I fall and never miss a beat.
Eyes like a campfire radiating loving warmth,
they let me know you take me as I am.
No need for perfection or a false self –
faithfulness and my love are your only demands.
