That's All

"That's All"

It's a wonderful song.  It speaks of a love that lasts forever, a promise to be near with a call, and a hand to hold when leaves begin to fall.  It promises all these (and then some) in return for adoration for now and ever more.

Everyone dreams of love like that at one time or another. They also wish for it, angle for it, scheme for it, and pray for it.  But everyone who knows about genuine love knows exactly how to have and live it.  And it's not through any of the things I just mentioned.

I believe I have all the love that I need and want.  Sometimes I feel I have been given more than what I probably deserve in this department.  I am surrounded by people who watch out for me.  I am cared for by people who want what's good for me.  I think I have some true friends who will stab me in the front (because that's what true friends do).

The top reason beating all of that is the fact I have a family who will always be the hand to hold when leaves begin to fall.

But the biggest reason why I know I have all the love I will ever want is my wife, Mia.  She is the person who has given me wings to fly and keeps them flapping through stormy weather.  How?  She says it's me she'll adore, for now and ever more.

It all boils down to that - reciprocating love with each other.  Once you find someone where you have that, you've found him/her.  Because after everything has come and gone, "That's All" you'll ever need.

Really.  That's All.
