as much as yourself

To love our neighbor
as ourselves
the call to each of us
the ancient command
of God, eternal, living, risen
that we are to love
all those we meet
who we have contact with
all around the world
as much as we love ourselves
nothing less, to love
as Christ loves us
sacrificially, in love
