Warriors of Love
Written by my daughter
Age 10 years old
“Love is something you receive and give. Love needs to be cared for. Love can hurt, but if you push through all that tough pain, you’ll find all the good funny tingling wonderful sensations.
But, the "Warriors of Love" can do this best out of anyone. You just don’t wake up a warrior, and it isn’t passed through generations. Instead, Warriors of Love just simply love fully and care deeply. They give to others even when it’s tough.
Maybe that warrior of love is you. If you say “I’m a Warrior of Love” yet don’t act on it, then you probably aren’t. This is because the warriors are the ones who don’t know that they themselves have this quality. They have inner strength and they just love on others because it feels good.
The love warriors are the ones who make this world a better place. There is no need to ask yourself if you are or are not this kind of person. Because if you wish for it but don’t work for it, then maybe it’s not you. Do not ask yourself about it. Don’t wish for love to happen. Instead, just do it and act on it.”
After she wrote and read this to me, I said, “sweetheart, who is an example of a Warrior of Love in your life?” With a thoughtful pause, she said, “Mommy, I think you are. You love others with all your heart even when maybe they don’t love you back. And you love with your whole heart and don’t ask for anything in return.”
My daughters words are a pertinent expression of how she feels, and how she relates to the love she witnesses in her life. I am honored to be viewed as Warrior of Love. And as we all slide our feet into our high heels, I hope you will be reminded of someone who made you feel seen and loved as well.
