He Leans In

He leans into life,
Taking everything on,
No half measures,
Or faked excitements.

He doesn’t lie,
Not about his feelings,
Not about his intent,
He is what he does.

Whole in every moment,
A guiding light,
A beacon of the present,
He is right there with you.

Watching you work,
Listening to your voice,
Copying your actions,
Always accepting without judgement.

He asks but one question,
Not with his words,
But with his entire being,
Do you love me as I love you?
