Am I loving enough, I often ponder,
Do my actions speak louder, or my heart yonder?
In the depths of my soul, I search for proof,
If my affection runs deep, beneath our roof.

Are my words kind and gentle, when you’re feeling low?
Do I hold you tightly, and let my love show?
Amidst the chaos, and storms that may brew,
Is my love a constant, steadfast and true?

Do I listen intently, to your every plea?
Am I your refuge, when you need to be free?
When darkness falls upon your weary soul,
Do I envelop you, and make you feel whole?

Is my touch a balm, on your tired skin?
Do I see your flaws, and still cherish from within?
When you doubt your worth, do I lift you high?
Am I loving enough, to make your spirit fly?

Do I make you laugh, when tears cloud your eye?
Do I wipe them away, when you start to cry?
In moments of silence, where words are scarce,
Do my embrace and presence bring you solace?
