I LOVE YOU

I LoVE YOu

I love you
not only for what you are,
but for what i am
when i'm with you.

I ove 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
and frivolous and weak things
which you cannot help dimly seeing there,
and for drawing out into the light
all the beautiful, radiant belongings
that no one else had looked
quite far enough to find.

I love you
for ignoring the possibilities of the fool
and weakling in me,
and for laying firm hold
on the possibilities of good in me.

I love you
for closing your eyes to the discords in me,
and for adding to the music in me by
worshipful listening.

I love you
because you are helping me to make
the lumber of my life not a tavern but a Temple,
and the words 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.
