How easy it is Lord
to speak of love,
to say, to pledge,
undying, unending love
claiming to understand,
To appreciate the meaning
of real love; oh we see but
only a foggy image of
Love in the mirror,
incomplete, fuzzy
a weak shadow of
full flowering of Your love.
We can take steps, strides
even tentative, faltering
steps,
even in our infancy, this
life
to make love come alive for
another,
through unexpected, kind
words,
A genuine smile, signs of
real respect,
true appreciation,
servanthood.
To put others before ourselves,
to wait for all, not just
our turn.
Take the time to find the
good in each
and speak words of love,
caring,
whenever we speak, in
whatever we do.
