This is for You!

For all those who have loved and lost 
For those whose love was not returned

For those who gave their hearts away
For those who couldn't make them stay

If your loved one left to the world beyond
Leaving you broken, unhappy and stunned

If your lover took off without a word 
or cleaved to another when he got bored

Perhaps you're together and yet so sad
Not alone, yet lonely, it's gotten that bad

Perhaps you've been hurt and also abused
Their words and actions left you so bruised

You may have no one to call your own 
No one to love you or take you home

You may see others in love and then wish
That your love life will someday flourish 

Rise up and break up with despair 
Make up your mind to no longer go there

You are precious, amazing and so loved
By your friends, family and God above 

Learn to love yourself even when you don't feel it
Learn to hold on to your joy even when you don't see it

I'm blowing these kisses to you to encourage you today
You are adored and treasured; more than words can say
