when we set each other apart
when we do not offer love
missing the point,
the red-letter words of Christ
letting the black and white, the human
get in the way of God
So simple, so hard
to live out our faith, our creed
to love God always
our neighbors as ourselves
forgiving as Christ did, on the cross
that none would be lost
offering love ever,
offering God ourselves
