You are Loved

 You Are Loved - Emily Roussell

Tell them.

Tell them they are loved

for just exactly who they are.

"I love you for you.

Not for the way you perform on a stage or a field.

Not for achievements with high marks or honors.

Not even for the good deeds you do.

I love you for you.

You'll see me clapping from the audience.

You'll see me cheering from the sidelines.

You'll see me stand to recognize your hard work.

You'll see me smile for your big heart.

Because I'm here for your journey.

I'll support your interests and passions.

I'll recognize your efforts.

I'll be there to show up for you.

But I love you

FOR YOU.

Hard days. Best days. Regular days.

Win. Lose.

Smiles. Tears.

Good choices. Bad decisions.

I love you for you

through it all

no matter what

forever and always."

Say it out loud.

Whisper it in their ear.

Write it on a note.

"I love you for you."
