Be Careful When You Say, "I Love You"



Be careful when you say, 'I love you'.
These three little words mean so much
More than their message often delivers.
Be prepared to show your loved one the
True meaning by being honestly sincere.
Can any one of us say, 'I love you'
And then turn away from someone in need?
Isn't love all about being compassionate
And having the ability to be understanding?
Isn't love about offering a tender ear
In times of absolute uncertainty?
Does saying, 'I love you' always mean
I am in love with someone I say this to?
Are you able to whisper these words
Then become a stranger to another's feelings?

The words, 'I love you' are sacred to me.
They express so much more than some hear.
To say you love someone means you truly care.
These words speak of integrity and honor.
They paint for us a never-ending rainbow
Where at the end we find our pot of gold.
When you say you love someone,
You're saying you want happiness for them,
That you have made their happiness
A priority in your life.
Above all else you want only their best
In a world that sometimes is less than kind.
Loving someone totally is an unselfish act.
So next time you say the words, 'I love you',
Please make sure you know the real meaning.
