A person deserves
to be worshiped quietly,
not for the eyes of others,
but because the heart cannot help
but bow in love.

They deserve care
that lingers without condition,
compassion that softens
the sharp edges of their days,
understanding that listens
before it speaks.

They deserve respect
that does not falter,
a devotion steady enough
to anchor them
when the world demands too much.

They deserve love
that is not performance,
but presence—
not for show,
but because it is felt,
deep and unshakable.
