I wrote this poem, Love is Love, a few years ago now, and it has been sat in my notes, waiting for today - the day when James my wonderfully supportive and caring big Brother in Law finally became engaged to Stuart the man who secretly filled my biscuit tin with chocolate biscuits and my freezer with ice cream at the end of his visit - if that doesn't tell you what a lovely person he is, I don't know what will.

There aren't many things in life which can fill your heart with joy and settle your soul like the moment you realise that someone you care about has found someone who really cares about them So here it is Love is Love - A poem True love isn't love if it fits in a mould. It doesn't come in shapes or sizes. True love just arrives and takes hold. It wraps its arms around you and doesn't let go. It changes your journey - and that's how you know One day you could be stumbling down a dark, beaten track - then suddenly it grabs you, and it pulls you right back.

Back into the sunlight that was invariably there, before love had your heart , but you just weren't aware. And life just feels clearer, it feels easier, more true - when love takes your hand and it pulls you on through. Love sees past traditions, opinions and hate. It stands firm against barriers and just opens the gate. Because your love isn't made for the world to approve. But it is there to remind you of the mountains you'll move.

And in days when there is conflict, when you're not sure what to do. True love will remind you "it's just me and it's you". Because no one else matters. And no one else should. When you make that decision. To give someone your love. And it may not always be easy. But don't ever lose sight. Because as long as it's love.
