How do I tell you 'I Love You'?
How do I show you I care?
How do I say all you mean to me?
How can mere words say it all?

How can I show you my feelings?
What can I do that will tell?
How do I say all you mean to me?
How can you know what I feel?

Here’s how I tell you “I love you”;
Here’s how I show you I care;
Here’s how I say all you mean to me—
Feel how you feel in my love.

Feel how my love wraps around you,
Snuggling you close in its care.
Feel how it loves to embrace you;
Feel the sweet peace you find there.

Feel the cares slip from your shoulders.
Feel your load lightened by love.
Feel the blessing you’re knowing,
Safe in the arms of my love.

Feel the contentment of knowing
Someone is loving you now.
Feel the joy that you’re glowing;
Swept in the arms of my love.

That’s how I tell you “I love you”;
That’s how I show you I care;
That’s how I say all you mean to me—
That’s how I say what I feel.

A Love Letter From God to You
(How Do I Tell You “I Love You”?)
Dedicated to my Mother, Hazel Heineke,
and to all who’ve blessed my life.

An Important Message From The Author
As you can see, this does not have a copyright notice on it.
I no longer believe in copyrighting my work, for I want
people to have access to it, whether or not they can pay me for it.
To me, “copyright” and “intellectual property” are concepts of a mind
that’s forgotten it’s a child of God, living among children of God.
If I have something I want to share, then I want people to have it.
So why wouldn’t I want them to copy it?
The only possible reason would be so I could be
the only one to make any money on it.
That’s not why I’m here.
I’m here to serve, unconditionally.
I believe that I’m here to profit humanity.
And I know that my life has value.
So as long as I choose to be here,
I will attract what I need to stay here comfortably.
Therefore I can give unconditionally,
knowing that my good will come,
whether through my own, immediate efforts,
in some other way, or both.
My work is to freely share whatever I can that may benefit others.
I believe that we each get to play the game of life
however we choose.
That’s the way it’s been set up.
And no way is wrong;
but different ways do bring different results.
This is what I feel led to do.
For me, this is giving unconditionally,
and it’s the only way I can give now.
I also believe that my work is priceless.
Without spiritual guidance,
it couldn’t have been written for all the money in the world.
And, it is price-less, if at all possible, or as inexpensive as possible,
so that whosoever will may have access to it.
But that doesn't mean it is worthless.
It simply means that I give it to others with the same love
that was given to me. How could I do otherwise?
If I truly love my brother and sister,
how could I ever put a toll-gate at my little doorway to Heaven?
I hope you enjoy this writing.

My writings inspire me time and again, even though I wrote them!
If they inspire you,
please feel free to pass along the love to another.
I won’t view you as a criminal for copying my book—
you’ll be an appreciated ally!
I believe we’re here to help one another.

Just for the record,
I’m a writer/editor/poet, desktop publisher, personal computer consultant and trainer,
and a child-like, awe-struck, lover of life,
blessed beyond measure.
