The Warmth Of Your Approval Poem by Louise Tredoux

I believe in ideals only, I believe in
creating a vision then bringing it into
fruition, I believe in doting on you, in
being there when you need me, in
holding hands as we go shopping,
in hiding behind your back when I
feel embarrassed and shy, in looking
away when strangers accost me,
in keeping my smile for the reflection
in your eyes, in opening up to the
warmth of your approval, in giving
you what you need and in taking the
loving provisions with which you feed
the need in my soul for togetherness…
