Love

With a door knocker like that, it's hard not to have a romantic home.

Love is the most beautiful thing in the world.

I Need Your Love

I Need Your Love

I need your love to comfort me,
It gives me the strength to be all I can be.

I need your love to see me through,
for you to back me up in all I do.

I need to feel your touch,
I want you to know I love you.

I need you to treat me right,
and for you to comfort me at night.

I need your understanding,
it makes our love outstanding.

I need your love...

What puts a smile on your face?

Question: Angel, what puts a smile on your face?

Answer: A lot of things can put a smile on my face. And a lot of times, it is the small things that he does for me will make me happy.

1) In big, when I see my parents (especially my loving mom who have been sacrificing her life for me) and spend my time with them, will make me truly happy.
2) If my future boyfriend care about my parents.
3) If my future boyfriend take me to vacation. I love travel especially tropical countries! :)

4) If he buy me a gift (it does not have to be expensive), the heart that counts.
5) If he open car door for me, every time. Yes, every time. I like a man who is a gentleman.
6) If he pour the tea in my tea cup in a Chinese restaurant.

7) If he buy me roses on our first date, and on every holiday (such as Valentine's day).
8) If he hug me and kiss my tears when I cry.
9) If he say "I am truly sorry" after he hurt me both intentionally and unintentionally.

10) If he write me love letters. I am a very romantic girl.
11) If he support my business. If I get married, if he allow me to have my own business, I want to be in the fashion (fine evening dress, those that you see in the upscale department stores such as Neiman Marcus) or jewelry (fine jewelry) or Skin Care / Cosmetics business.
12) If he email me or text me or call me at least once a day :)

13) If he reply to my email / text message / phone call as soon as possible.
14) If he have a romantic date with me at least once a week.
15) If he is marriage-minded and want to be a husband and father.

16) To be continued...

With a dream of love,
An angel

Man's Love VS Woman's Love

Man’s love is of his life a thing apart;
‘Tis woman’s whole existence.

- Puccini, Madama Butterfly

A Mother's Love

A Mother's Love

I have a pair of socks

a very plain pair of socks

Every time I wear this pair of socks

I feel my mother's love...

At one time, there was a hole in the toe of each sock
I almost threw them away
But my mom said, "No. I can sew them for you and you can wear them again."

My mom was born in a poor family and she has been frugal all her life

Mom added a piece of cloth to the toe of each of the torn socks and sewed them

I am now gazing at the sock and thinking about my mother and her love

A mother's love is instinctual, unconditional, and forever

To a child's ear, "Mama" is magic in any language

My mother, my best friend so dear
Throughout my life she has always been near

A tender smile to guide my way

She's the sunshine to light my day

Best friends forever, my mom and me
picking flowers and cleaning homes
a shoulder to cry on, secrets to share
Warm hearts and hands that really care

My mother's love for me

is the greatest love of my life

I love you, my dear loving mom...

I Miss You, My Loving Father...

I Miss You, My Loving Father...

Give your father a hug, a great big kiss
because one day, he will be greatly missed

My dad has gone away from this land
I miss the precious touch of his loving hands

I never knew 2004 was the last year
I could look at my dad, hug him, and say: "I love you, Dad!"

Don't let one day go by without telling him how dear he is
remember you may not have another year to tell him this

All I have now is great memories
a heart full of love and eyes full of tears
and to remember his love throughout the years

Now I will have to look up at the heaven and say, "I love you, Dad!"

I miss you, my loving father...

Dance With Me

Dance With Me

I have sent you my invitation, the note inscribed on the palm of my hand by the fire of living. Don't jump up and shout, "Yes, this is what I want! Let's do it!" Just stand up quietly and dance with me.

Show me how you follow your deepest desires, spiralling down into the ache within the ache. And I will show you how I reach inward and open outward to feel the kiss of the Mystery, sweet lips on my own, everyday.

Don't tell me you want to hold the whole world in your heart. Show me how you turn away from making another wrong without abandoning yourself when you are hurt and afraid of being unloved.

Tell me a story of who you are, And see who I am in the stories I am living. And together we will remember that each of us always has a choice.

Don't tell me how wonderful things will be . . . some day. Show me you can risk being completely at peace, truly OK with the way things are right now in this moment, and again in the next and the next and the next. . .

I have heard enough warrior stories of heroic daring. Tell me how you crumble when you hit the wall, the place you cannot go beyond by the strength of your own will. What carries you to the other side of that wall, to the fragile beauty of your own humanness?

And after we have shown each other how we have set and kept the clear, healthy boundaries that help us live side by side with each other, let us risk remembering that we never stop silently loving those we once loved out loud.

Take me to the places on the earth that teach you how to dance, the places where you can risk letting the world break your heart. And I will take you to the places where the earth beneath my feet and the stars overhead make my heart whole again and again.

Show me how you take care of business without letting business determine who you are. When the children are fed but still the voices within and around us shout that soul's desires have too high a price, let us remind each other that it is never about the money.

Show me how you offer to your people and the world the stories and the songs you want our children's children to remember, and I will show you how I struggle not to change the world, but to love it.

Sit beside me in long moments of shared solitude, knowing both our absolute aloneness and our undeniable belonging. Dance with me in the silence and in the sound of small daily words, holding neither against me at the end of the day.

And when the sound of all the declarations of our sincerest intentions has died away on the wind, dance with me in the infinite pause before the next great inhale of the breath that is breathing us all into being, not filling the emptiness from the outside or from within.

Say, "Yes!" Just take my hand and dance with me.

How Do I Love Thee

How do I love thee

How do I love thee?
Let me count the ways…
With a heart for every love story,
A heart for every shape and form,
A heart for each song,
And even one for broken dreams...

The Furthest Distance In The World

The Furthest Distance In The World

The furthest distance in the world
is not between life and death
but when I stand in front of you
yet you don't know that
I love you

The furthest distance in the world
is not when I stand in front of you
yet you can't see my love
but when undoubtly knowing the love from both
yet cannot be together

The furthest distance in the world
is not being apart while being in love
but when I plainly cannot resist the yearning
yet pretending you have never been in my heart

The furthest distance in the world
is not struggling against the tides
but using one's indifferent heart
to dig an uncrossable river
for the one who loves you
