Love and Need


It's a selfish truth. We have both a physical and mental relationship with our .

As we let go of the physical, we now have to deal with the mental, without it.
Our have to do the same thing.

But throughout their young life's they prep for the moment. In many cases define themselves by that moment. Letting go of the physical and maintaining the mental is easy, expected. and desired. So they move on fine, without us there.

But the question is how do we move on, without them there?

Feeling needed. There none greater than raising a . Doing what's needed, because you understand you are needed.

From the moment we look into their eyes as a newborn. We are overcome with love. Because what we see is this little person who needs us, more than anything has ever in our lives.

We believe we raise our so they don't need us any more. How do we wrap our mind around that. When being needed is the greatest joy in our lives.

How do we move on? We can't replace it,
As we sit here, work, play, see friends, or travel. There's a great big hole of being needed.
NO one ever tell us it would be like this. At least, if they ever have we didn't listen

I wrote this on skariff's blog.
But it led to me to bigger picture, of love and need.

Love is something, that's hard to comprehend
Especially when a heart is on the mend
For this to believe, there's something you lack
To not be able to love, unless you're loved back

You take love with with you as long as you live
when love is not what you get, but what you give

It's confusing, I know, unless you heed
it's something you have and not what you need
To need someone is just a fact
Unless you can't need, without being needed back

The love for our keeping my meaning intact
Love being needed, and love without being needed back.

We love our children just as much without the feeling of being needed.
It's says a lot about love and need.
How Love is unselfish, and need is not.
